Change name of repo to keymanapp/dictionaries #49

Closed eddieantonio closed 5 years ago

eddieantonio commented 5 years ago

Obviously, this incurs MASSIVE changes to e.g., the API, and the CI, but—we've been claiming that users will be installing dictionaries and not lexical models. Just like users were able to download and publish keyboards from keymanapp/keyboards, they should be able to download and publish dictionaries from keymanapp/dictionaries.

@mcdurdin @darcywong00 @jahorton, your comments are very welcome!

I want to use the term "lexical model" internally and for developers. For end users, we'll use the term "dictionary". There are many places where we have different end user terminology and in my opinion that is not a big issue. Using the term dictionary internally will shape how people think about the models -- because we are not really publishing dictionaries. So I'm not really keen on this change ;-)

FWIW, remember that the end users will not interact directly with the repositories anyway. They'll be finding "dictionaries" installed automatically when they install their keyboard.

Fair enough. Given this explanation, I think leaving this repo as lexical-models is a good choice. Any comments from other @keymanapp/developers?

Alright, calm down you rowdy folk! I'm happy not making an enormous change to our paths and tooling. Closing!
