CG: simplify name #18

Open jernst opened 2 weeks ago

jernst commented 2 weeks ago

Is it possible to shorten the name of the "W3C Social Web Incubator Community Group" and at least remove the "incubator" from it? IMHO the incubation happened a long time ago...

Ideally we would migrate to SocialCG as the handle and to be consistent, the group could be the "Social Community Group".

I'd really like to see the "swicg" tongue-breaker disappear, and even more so the several handles we use to refer to the same thing. And then make Github orgs etc consistent.

I defer to @dmitrizagidulin et al. on how and when, but I would support this namechange and maybe the ratification of the CG charter would be a good occasion for this update?

@jernst I agree with you that the 'I' in 'swicg' is unnecessary at this point.

The main reason to keep it unchanged is the public-swicg@w3.org mailing list (I'm not sure what affordances we have for renaming mailing list addresses).

(Incidentally, the 'i' is often added anyways when you try to pronounce the swcg abbreviation).

I love the name SocialCG, which is I think the name we selected a long time ago:

Accept majority of straw poll as SocialCG for group shortname.
