🧹 Rename from `Room` to `Section` and `Furniture` to `Gizmo`

zspencer commented 1 year ago

During one of our demos with Piikup, we noticed there was a degree of struggle with the "Room" and "Furniture" nomenclature. @anaulin brought that to the ensembles, and we talked a bit about shifting away from "Room" (which is a holdover from when we were focusing on the Videobridge Furniture.

[x] Replace "Room" and "Rooms" in the views and locales files with "Section" and "Sections" https://github.com/zinc-collective/convene/pull/1474
[x] Replace "Furniture" in the views and locales files with "Gizmo" and "Gizmos" https://github.com/zinc-collective/convene/pull/1476
[x] Sleep on it! (Or Demo it?)
[x] Decide if we want to keep the change (We do, it's "Better than Furniture", per @KellyAH)
[x] Update the Furniture Github Issue Label to Gizmo
[ ] Rename the open Furniture Issues
[ ] Rename the open Room issues
[x] Update any of our Docs https://github.com/zinc-collective/convene/pull/1571
[ ] Rename the Models and Tables

I've gone ahead and updated the issue title for all the Furniture and renamed the Furniture label to Gizmo

@zspencer @anaulin Are we happy with the renames of "Section" "Gizmo"/"Gizmos"?

Should I proceed with the remaining refactor tasks to Update Docs and Rename the Models and Tables to match the rename? Or wait longer till we get more feedback/info?

I'd wait a little longer on the models and tables (like, a few months at least?). It would be nice to drop a note in the docs about how we are calling them differently in the UI.

zspencer commented 11 months ago

Agreed, for now I think we should let the old names ride at the application layer; and perhaps in September throw the switch.

These docs still mentions Room/Rooms:

https://github.com/zinc-collective/convene/blob/main/features/support/parameter-types/README.md links to https://github.com/zinc-collective/convene/blob/main/features/support/parameter-types/rooms.js which doesn't exist anymore.
features/furniture/spotlight.feature.md Spotlights in Hero Style take up a large portion of the Room.

Did you want me to replace any Room text in those docs with Section? Or slap 1 line of text at the top mentioning that Room has been renamed to Section?

A LOT of docs mention Furniture:

Did you want me to replace any Furniture text in those docs with Gizmo? Or slap 1 line of text at the top of each doc mentioning that Furniture has been renamed to Gizmo?

anaulin commented 11 months ago

I'd say slap the one line for now. We might rename it back or again or who knows... 🤷🏼‍♀️
