Creating an organization for all charts

[pmairoldi]

Shouldn't we just create an organization for charts for ios, charts for android, and anything else related?

[danielgindi]

That's a great idea! @petester42 are you on board?

[pmairoldi]

Sure

[danielgindi]

Yeah I mean to tag @PhilJay :-)

[danielgindi]

I'm so busy today that I don't see what I read OR what I write

[liuxuan30]

lol I am baby sitting and typing on my phone in midnight.good idea

[Huang-Libo]

It's a great organization;-)

[PhilJay]

Sure thing, sounds like a good idea :-)

[PhilJay]

I guess it does not really matter who sets up the Organization but we should agree on a name

[danielgindi]

Yeah. Suggestions?

[PhilJay]

Well, "Charts" would probably be generic enough to describe everything and yet short and simple. Not sure if it's an issue since the iOS part is already named that way.

[danielgindi]

Then the repos could be Charts/Swift, Charts/Android, Charts/SwiftRealm, Charts/AndroidRealm...

[PhilJay]

That could work, yes. But I'm not sure it's smart to rename the repositories concerning visibility?

[danielgindi]

Well whatever name we give them - we don't really need to change Cocoapod or Gradle names

[pmairoldi]

I think keeping the libraries names Charts is fine. We don't need to drop it and it aligns more with the actual name people will use in their code. As far as renaming goes, I'm pretty sure github redirects traffic to the new name automatically for some time.

[PhilJay]

Alright, sounds like we have a plan. Do you want me to create the organization?

[danielgindi]

Are we going to name it "Charts"?

[PhilJay]

That name works for me!

[pmairoldi]

Works for me too

[liuxuan30]

fine for me too

[danielgindi]

"Username is already taken". Next suggestion?

[Huang-Libo]

@danielgindi Maybe you should create a Team in Organization for better authority control, so you need to set a name for the Team. 🙃

[Huang-Libo]

@danielgindi Supplement: Not one team, maybe two team,

• Android Charts Team (contain Android Charts project and Android ChartsRealm project),
• iOS Charts Team (contain iOS Charts project and iOS ChartsRealm project).

And maybe there will has a Web Charts Team someday.

[pmairoldi]

Maybe use Mobile Charts instead. It's free. Or contact GitHub to get the username. It seems to belong to an inactive user.

[danielgindi]

Hi there Daniel,

Thanks for getting in touch with us. I've looked over the charts account and I'm afraid it's not dormant (not all activity on GitHub is public) or available for release under our name-squatting policy.

Sorry for the disappointment, please do let us know if you have any questions about this or anything else!

Thanks, Steve

[danielgindi]

I don't think that "MobileCharts" is entirely appropriate as the Swift version is available for macOS too ;)

[pmairoldi]

Ya I agree. Maybe like an adjective and then charts like "BeautifulCharts" or just like "ChartsOrg"

[PhilJay]

Hmmm, or something to highlight the cross-platform features?

[danielgindi]

MultiCharts? Even ChartsOrg is good enough as the "org" emphasizes it's not just one vertical

[pmairoldi]

ChartsOrg is fine by me
