name bikeshed

Open StefanKarpinski opened this issue 6 years ago • 5 comments

@ararslan expressed minor disappointment that we didn't call this "Julia Registrar". It's not too late! In fact, if we're going to change the name, we should do it as early as possible. So let's do some bikeshedding. Some options:

  1. Keep both JuliaRegistrator as the org name and Registrator.jl as the package name.
  2. Change to JuliaRegistrary but keep Registrator.jl
  3. Change both to JuliaRegistrar and Registrar.jl

I omitted changing the package but not the org since that doesn't make sense to me. I'm happy to make a PR to change the names if we decide on something (it's kind of busy work).

FWIW it wasn't honest disappointment, I just think "registrar" would be an apt term in this case. I think Registrator is as good a name as any for the package itself; I was referring specifically to the JuliaRegistrator user, as registrars are folks who maintain registries.

Ok, so that's in support of option 2, which is actually the easiest to do. I like that option: the user is the registrar, the program is the registrator (which sounds more like a bot anyway).

I like Registrator.jl. I agree it sounds like a bot and I can hear the thick Austrian accent 😎💪

Why not put it under JuliaRegistries/Registrator.jl?

Perhaps the registrator could look like a bot too, like attobot ...

Love it. Want to make a PR to add that logo to the README?
