New name for UniTT

[PatReynolds]

Kirk has pointed out that "universal transcription" has an existing meaning which may need to serious confusion outside our walls.

We therefore need a name that is not "Universal transcription" but also indicates that this is a tool that can be used for a wide range of transcription projects of the "spreadsheet" kind (e.g. not the transcriptions of last wills and testaments, which while they might be indexed using the took, would not be transcribed in full.

[PatReynolds]

An element that means "not just for one type of record" adaptable, adjustable, alterable, common, communal, changeable, elastic, flexible, general-purpose, mixed-use, multipurpose, modifiable, plastic, supple, ubiquitous, variable, versatile, wide,

Possibly with a 'historic records element.

historic record, archival, history, entry

possibly Online

And then "transcription tool"

Ideally an acronym is a word with meaning!

Eg common or communal + entry + transcription tool would get us ComETT

[PatReynolds]

@DeniseColbert @AlOneill what do you think? to the words? Anything to add? Maybe something around community , volunteer, etc?

[DeniseColbert]

I like ComETT and I think Communal Entry Transcription Tool is good, too!

Discussed in our scrum - agreed to go with ComETT.

[PatReynolds]

Kirk suggests ComFETT (Community Formatted Entry Transcription Tool)

ComSETT (Community Spreadsheet Entry Transcription Tool)
