Hi Folks, Thanks for your feedback and questions!
Could you explain the meaning of the name, Contraband? That word has a >> generally negative connotation in US English so I'm curious how it fits >> the >> project. >> > Alex, the naming was not given much thought frankly. I just tossed an idea around the words Contributor + Analysis and came up with "Contraband" as a playful term. It was more like a working title during initial discussions and it seems it stuck. I understand the negative connotation, but I though since other open source tools have such bold names, maybe this won't be so bad (for example Riot IM (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riot.im) ;-) We are open to name changes and suggestions. Some new suggestions: Contraption, Contriverse (Contributor universe), WikiDrop (each contribution is a drop in Wikimedia ocean), ContraScope (Scope to view contributions) WikiGauge ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauge_(instrument)) etc. Keep the ideas flowing. I will let Rammanoj drive this from here! -- Suchakra Staff Scientist, ShiftLeft Inc. > _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
