I agree with the point that newcomers will have no idea what EO is (and they should not need to know). It's best to have naming targeted at the newcomer demographic since any developers which are already invested in the community will inherently know which API is being referred to regardless of wha

The problem I see with EO is that newcomers don't know what it is, so it needs to be introduced. But then again, we could do something similar: *Components (Classic)* vs *Unified (EO)*. I have been envisioning for a while a first page on the Developers section, clearly split in two, saying: CHOOSE

Component (Classic) seems acceptable, though I think there is still room for people to not understand what is meant by this term. On Mon, Apr 1, 2019 at 9:32 AM Xavi Artigas wrote: > Thank you all for your feedback! > > My comments: > Universal works too, but I think Unified is more specific as

Thank you all for your feedback! My comments: Universal works too, but I think Unified is more specific as to its purpose. I wasn't sure about the Classic name so I welcome alternatives. I like Components because it clearly states its problem. However, we would need to explain that "the API that y

I'd prefer "component" and "unified". They say the classics never go out of style, but they do. On Mon, Apr 1, 2019 at 5:32 AM Xavi Artigas wrote: > Hello everybody, > > TL;DR: Current docs are a mess because of inconsistent naming of the two > APIs (old and new). I propose we call them Classic

Hello everybody, TL;DR: Current docs are a mess because of inconsistent naming of the two APIs (old and new). I propose we call them Classic and Unified and revamp the docs site. As you know, we have all been laboring in the past years to produce a new API for EFL that presents a unified look (in
