hostname confusion #2

Closed lagsalot closed 12 years ago

Firstly, awesome project. Thanks for the work!

However while getting it running, trying to figure out how it works etc the references to hostname are tripping me up.

You are probably to far into this to make such a change, but I think it would be very handy to new users if you refactored that out of your project and replaced it with an alternative moniker.

wemux_session, wemux_session_name or something to that effect perhaps.

While reading up on your project for instance, I assumed hostname was in reference to a server and thought there was multi-host session sharing magic built in.

I'd concur with that assessment. All current references to host or hostname in the docs and conf file keep sending my brain in the wrong direction.

tmux already has the ability to create and name multiple sessions off of each socket, and I like the fact that you're heading down the direction of trying to add some control structure to who can or can't do that (a la GNU Screen's ACL controls), but changing the terminology to host/hostname is going to add unnecessary confusion.

I could see how hostname could cause confusion. I've changed all references to hostname to simply refer to a specific wemux session. You'll need to copy over the new wemux.conf for the new version as this changed the name of some variables.

Hope this reduces any confusion!
