Hi devs, For the new messageSender macro [1][2], I chose the name using the "attachmentSelector" macro as a template: "<object><personified-action>"
Vincent did not really like the "messageSender" name and proposed "message", "sendMessage" or "userMessage". Since AFAIK we don`t currently have a naming convention for wiki macro names, I`d like to propose that we stick to the patterns: 1) "<object><personified-action>" (attachmentSelector, messageSender) for action-oriented macros and 2) "<object(s)>" (documents, spaces, activity) for display-oriented macros For 2), it's pretty clear, but for 1), I personally prefer "<object><personified-action>" since overall it is a noun and, in english, the phrase "messageSender macro" sounds better to me than "sendMessage macro". Also, I think that the main action of the action-oriented macro should be reflected in its name. I`d like your opinion on the matter and also new proposals if you have any. Here's my +1 for 1) and 2). Thanks, Eduard ---------- [1] http://xwiki.markmail.org/thread/mxpkpqfplbznfgbd [2] http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-7679 _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
