Package name?? #4

Closed tpoisot closed 7 years ago

tpoisot commented 7 years ago

Please? Can we discuss this? I believe this is a terrible name.

KevCaz commented 7 years ago

Personally, I like the acronym. It's a good combination of keywords as well as a reference to one major goal of the methods implemented: predicting the links an alien species could experience when colonizing a new area. However I understand that one cannot guess what the package does based on this name.

tpoisot commented 7 years ago

I think it's a good codename for us, but a bad package name.

  1. It's not descriptive
  2. It's not obvious from the name what it does
  3. It has a R at the end for no reason

@tpoisot, your arguments are valuable. If you have new names in mind write them in this issue. Then if needed, we can discuss them and take a final decision at the next meeting. We had to find a repo name and we found this one attractive. predNet and predLink were two other propositions that emerge from the workshop.

At this stage, I think nothing is definitive and honestly the members of the workshop were more focused on coding and merging methods than finding an explicit name.

I have a new proposition if we decide to change the : inferaction

SteveViss commented 7 years ago

Proposition by Dom: infernet And @tpoisot, the capital R at the end will be remove for sure.

Ok, we keep alien as the official name. At the first release to the CRAN, we can have a second chat on this topic. I close temporary this issue.
