Is the main reason for doing this the name conflict with the taxa class? I am OK with changing it to binomen, but I like taxa better since it is shorter and more immediately understandable.

sckott commented 7 years ago

A few reasons. yes, fxn conflict, taxa_ could become taxa - also pkg names that are too common of a word are hard to find on the internet, e.g., taxa results in 2.9 million hits on google scholar, while only 4000 for binomen

do you feel strongly about sticking with taxa?

zachary-foster commented 7 years ago

Ahh, yea, did not consider searchability. Thats a good point.

No, I don't feel strongly about taxa, I just kinda liked its simplicity, but searchability is more important.

sckott commented 7 years ago

sounds like we'll stick with taxa, so closing this
