couldn't it rather be a description of an action - like data
extraction?
Yeah, maybe just name the button/menu "Send Data." I think the
sending is probably more important than the extraction.

The interface model doesn't necessarily have to actually match the
implementation model, but yeah, I'm still not a huge fan of the
attachments idea.
"Pointers" for: http://tinyurl.com/278y8g
"Hyperlayers" for: http://tinyurl.com/26mqf3
(or "layers" for short)
Those names sound very catchy - but in my ears perhaps a bit too
much like something coming from a classic PR-campaign. At least
"Hyperlayers" - image an ad with the text "Increase your
productivity with the all new Firefox 3 now with hyperlayers". Very
cool - but does it actually tell us something?
Can't it be kept simple? Does it have to be a new name - couldn't
it rather be a description of an action - like data extraction?
(Don't know if thats the right spelling though)
That would tell what it does and it would be less PR-like and more
"honest"(?) - it's just plain simply describing what this new thing
does and that's what I think is most important. Keep it simple.
Both of those names have previously been shot down inside Mozilla,
ironically enough because some people felt that the interface-
level name should emerge out of the microformats community. In
the past Web browsers have lagged far enough behind the evolution
of the Web that names have already been established (like with
Feeds).
Well - that is ironic :) Perhaps the "real" place for this would be
among the comments on a YouTube-movie featuring this in action or
in blogosphere? But that does however not stop us from having this
discussion...
