Thanks Frederick for the great reference to the human interface guidelines. Thanks everyone. We should go for the ranaming to "Graph" then. -- .. manuq .. ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

'Graph' has some more specific technical meanings, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_%28disambiguation%29 than does 'Chart', http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chart_%28disambiguation%29 So 'Chart' seems most succinct for the current Activity. --Fred ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

Sugar activities are generally named after nouns: Read, Write, Record, Browse "Chart" is a verb (and is a fine name for this activity), fits with the above. (it is also a noun, but that is not the intended part of speech used here) "Charts" is not a verb. I also agree with dropping the word "Simple" from the title; most sugar activities are simple (in a good way) but there is no need to put this in the name. So yes, using "Chart" or "Graph" (both are verbs, both talk about what the activity does) sounds good to me.

Re: [Sugar-devel] SimpleGraph rename?
Since each SimpleGraph activity makes/shows one graph only, I think keeping it in singular would be best. Unless the idea is to leave the door open for multiple charts in the future.

[Sugar-devel] SimpleGraph rename?
Hi, SimpleGraph Activity [1] is being considered for inclusion in the activities shipped by olpc. Is the name ok? Some suggest remove the camel case separating the words: Simple Graph. And there is another option, Simple Chart. Or maybe just Graph or Chart? Graph can be used as a verb, and Chart may be more specific?
