Suggestion: rename repo and spec to background-sync (is BackgroundSync) #176

For consistency with: https://github.com/WICG/background-fetch https://github.com/WICG/periodic-background-sync

If this spec reaches the W3C Rec track, then an eventual /TR/ name will be background-sync. There are only a handful of exceptions to this among web spec, like FileAPI IndexedDB.

Spotted because this showed up at the top of the directory listing in web-platform-tests.

Happy to do this. Do you know if bikeshed's database will just figure it out, or are there manual steps to do?

@tabatkins are there any steps needed for Shepherd to scrape the new URL after a rename?

tabatkins commented 4 years ago

Ah yeah I need to fix it.

foolip commented 4 years ago

That fix would happen after a rename, right, not ahead of it? (Translation: @jakearchibald may proceed.)

tabatkins commented 4 years ago

yes

foolip commented 4 years ago

Thanks Jake! Note that the URL at the top right of https://github.com/WICG/background-sync also needs updating, and isn't in version control.

jakearchibald commented 4 years ago

Good catch. Updated.
