Update "template" terminology? #254

Open samajammin opened 4 years ago

samajammin commented 4 years ago

Summary

We should rename projects "templates" to something that better describes them - "examples"? "tutorials"?

Motivation

Feedback from our recent dev survey: Realistically, these aren't project templates. The goal isn't really for people to build off them to make real projects. They're not scaffolding for a real project the same way the create-react-app is a template or the way create-eth-app provides DeFi templates. They are mostly tutorials / examples to demonstrate how the Ethereum stack fits together. THEN the projects provide onramps into actual local dev setups / project templates / scaffolding to build a real app.

@javier-tarazaga @ChrisChinchilla I welcome discussion & ideas around this.

ChrisChinchilla commented 4 years ago

Yeah, that seems reasonable, I think we just took over the pre-existing terminology.

i think the easiest short term solution is likely to rename to "examples", as that's a more flexible term, and kind of allows them to be the kind of hybrid use case they are now.

In the longer term, maybe we separate out the different concepts.

As we discussed, makes total sense as they are not really templates but in fact examples of dapps
