Why not get all trendy and 2015ish and call it Analytics
That way it could also produce dashboards and graphs as well as reports. Ron On 25/02/2015 6:46 PM, Pierre Smits wrote:
Hi all, Currently, all component names describe - in one word - what the components are about and what kind of functionality the user - from a business point of view - can expect. As examples: accounting is related to the various accounting (financial, gl, invoicing, payment, , etc) functions and services, and projectmgr is related to program and project management, project task assignment and time registration. The birt component is a bit the odd one out. The name doesn't say in that one word what it delivers. In stead it is an acronym for a specific third party integration solution and another open source project with the same name (birt, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIRT_Project ). One could even say it is the name of a tool, not the name of a business functionality. In order to be able to increase awareness of the multitude of business functionalities (as could be done by using the name of the components) and improve adoption, I suggest to change the name (and the references to it in the component and others) to something that is more to the point business wise. I propose we rename it to 'reports'. What do you think?
