Subject: [EXTERNAL] [PROPOSAL] Replace whitelist blacklist with allowlist 
denylist

 

Hi Folks,

 

What

I would like to propose that we replace source code coining 'whiteList' and 
'blackList'-esque terms/phrases with some more representative language e.g. 
allowList, denyList.

 

Where

* subcollection plugin - 
https://github.com/apache/nutch/blob/master/src/plugin/subcollection/src/java/org/apache/nutch/collection/Subcollection.java#L46-L47

* urlfilter-domainblacklist plugin - 
https://github.com/apache/nutch/tree/master/src/plugin/urlfilter-domainblacklist

 

Why

I think we could and should use more neutral terminology and lead by example. 

I want to STRESS that this proposal is by no means an effort by me to reflect 
negatively on the authors or their EXCELLENT contributions to Nutch. I hope 
this is taken in good faith and we as a community can come together on this 
one. 

 

How

Please voice your opinions here and we can take it from there. I would 
personally love to hear all opinions and I will personally take any action(s) 
if we decide to go forward with the proposal.

 

Thank you for your consideration folks.

 

Lewis
