Of course user testing will be key to make sure these have enough
information scent for our audience but I think it's a great start!

Hi Jess,
As a relative newcomer to the project, I like the way you've named
these so that I can get a sense of the relationships between fluid
and various projects/products. This naming system works for me, but
as a newby I'm not sure how it relates to "reality" and would like
to hear feedback from the people who've been on the project for
longer. For now I'm going to make sure that the dev website uses
these names.

Folks,
In clarifying the organization of things for the website refresh we
have fallen squarely into the realm of naming. The descriptions
below are pithy at best, but I'm focusing on the Fluid xxxx names
and am wondering if anyone has feedback on the naming:
Fluid -- the community
PRODUCTS:
Fluid Infusion -- the bundle of code goodness
Fluid Design Handbook -- the bundle of design how-tos and guidelines
Fluid OSDPL -- the design pattern library
VU Lab -- the virtual usability app
PROJECTS:
principle investigator
Fluid Project -- the 2007-2009 effort that focused largely on web
apps in higher-ed
Fluid Engage -- the project we hope to start in April largely
focused on the various means of distribution used by museums and
cultural institutions
Decapod -- the digitization project with DFKI
The Fluid xxxx names are the ones I'm focusing on here. Do these
fit others' sense of how we should represent our projects and our
products?
I will send along more website info architecture as soon as we have
a little something to show. Getting settled on the naming will help.
Best,
Jess
