I think we're going the wrong way with this whole thing. I don't see how we are going to keep the new naming out of new files, and I hope we aren't planning to send nasty emails to everyone that puts the word slave in their lib/sample. That would be quite bad for Jallib. Instead of us changing everything, maybe we should only change this where microchip and other chip vendors have.
The reason for the change should be "to match the vendors wording". Not to remove it completely, because that can't be enforced due to freedom of speech and will prevent some from adding files to Jallib. The person making the library can name it as they please. Can we list all libraries containing the terms master/slave, then note which are not matching the vendors wording? Since microchip is using host/client for SPI, I think we should keep spi_master_hw.jal, but replace it's contents with only a few lines like: include spi_host_hw alias spi_master_hw is spi_host_hw Some vendors still refer to it as spi master/host and some as spi slave/client. Therefore we should keep both a spi_host and a spi_master library. Nobody owns Jallib, therefore nobody should enforce this new wording. Our policy should be "try to use the vendors wording, but it's up to the creator". I think this solution should work better for everyone. Peter, I don't think we'll be making any other changes to SPI naming, this seems to be enough change for now. Matt.
