An important difference between simulators shiped via WebIDE and Mulet is that the simulators includes Gaia, whereas Mulet doesn't. Mulet has been designed for gaia contributors, that's why it doesn't have a gaia profile bundled. Whereas simulators is more handy for apps developers or people that want to see how FxOS looks like.
Given that, I like FxOS Runtime for Mulet and FxOS Simulator for the addons. FxOS Runtime would easily match b2g-desktop or mulet. We should keep the internal codename to distinguish the very precise runtime internaly. Who knows if we won't come up with yet another runtime?? Like servo-brand-new-haircut! But FxOS Runtime is going to stay and refer to whatever should be used to run FxOS on desktop. Note that, like that, the FxOS Simulator has been based on b2g-desktop and Mulet over time, but we always kept "FxOS Simulator" as final name. 2015-11-13 4:34 GMT+01:00 Fred Lin <[email protected]>: > I suggest `FxOS Runtime Environment` (for win, mac, linux), name after JRE > (java runtime environment), > make it sounds more like a developer facing tool. > > regards > -- > Fred > > On Fri, Nov 13, 2015 at 6:34 AM, Michael Henretty <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> I like short names, and I think "FxOS" is well accepted as the dev >> moniker for Firefox OS.
