fix title #8

The title is currently "Gene Expression - The Basics". If this sim is following PhET conventions, the title should be "Gene Expression: Basics".

jbphet commented 8 years ago

I believe that this sim was named before we had the whole "basics" thing going on for simpler versions of simulations. The name "Gene Expression - The Basics" was intended to convey the idea that this sim teaches the basics of a very complex process, and not that it is a simpler version of another sim. There is no plan to ever make a more complete, non-basic, version of this simulation.

Perhaps the sim should be renamed to avoid confusion with the basics/full terminology that PhET now uses. Maybe "Gene Expression Essentials" or "Basic Gene Expression". I'll assign to @ariel-phet to see if he thinks that this is worth doing.

ariel-phet commented 8 years ago

Or perhaps "Gene Expression Fundamentals" or such? Let me get some designer opinions.

ariel-phet commented 8 years ago

@amanda-phet see above...thoughts on changing the name if you put your teacher hat on?

amanda-phet commented 8 years ago

Maybe @amyh-phet could also weigh in? I like "Gene Expression Essentials" out of the options presented above. I agree that using the new "SimName : Basics" convention does not fit in this case.

amyh-phet commented 8 years ago

I think Gene Expression Essentials conveys that the sim introduces the topic but doesn't provide all of the information as the topic is really complex. I like "Essentials" more than "Fundamentals". I also think this would avoid the confusion with our current "SimName-Basics".

@amanda-phet should I go ahead with Gene Expression Essentials name for this sim

amanda-phet commented 8 years ago

@aadish yes I think that title will work well.

aadish commented 8 years ago

awsm will go ahead and rename the GitHub repository to reflect the changes

aadish commented 8 years ago

Github repo has been renamed and changes have been made inside babel, chipper, phetmarks, phet-info and all-sims to reflect the same

aadish commented 7 years ago

sim has been renamed to gene expression essentials, closing
