Clarification needed for fields
In public repos, we list the name
and full_name
of projects. In private repos, we list project
and then name.
I think name
in public repos is equivalent to name
in private repos. I think full_name
in public repos is equivalent to project
in private repos.
Is there a reason two distinct attribute names exist, and if not, which is the correct one?
This isn't limited to private repos.
The Developer
about.yml file contains project
and name
- not name
and full_name
.

Ah. @gbinal converted some project YAML files to .about.yml
recently, and carried over the project
field instead of changing it to full_name
. We should make the change wherever we see it (and remind folks to run the command-line validator, and get our web-based validator up soon).
