No difference - just my Norwegian compound-word-ism sneaking in! We
would say "Taverna Kommandolinjeverktøy" - rolls off the tongue..

And in fact in my teenage years I was an active campaigner to remind
Norwegians to write compound words correctly and not pretend it's
English - from a 1997 newspaper:

Notice that the git repository is "incubator-taverna-commandline", our
groupID is "org.apache.taverna.commandline", artifactIds are
"taverna-commandline-api" etc, and the download would be called
apache-taverna-commandline-3.1.0-incubating.tar.gz -- I thought it
would be nice if those "code names" had consistent hyphenization --
and for me this is good to avoid the hierarchically more confusing
"taverna-command-line-api".
However we also have "incubator-taverna-common-activities" with
groupId org.apache.taverna.commonactivities!
Changing git repo names I think CAN be done at this point - probably a
bit of a hazzle for Infra to keep the GitHub link ; if we want to
change group/artifactIds we should decide on now before we do the
first release.
However the English title we can be more liberal with (but yes,
consistent) - just like
https://taverna.incubator.apache.org/download/osgi/ describes the
"Apache Taverna OSGi plugin system " rather than the misleading
"Apache Taverna OSGi".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command-line_interface uses the spelling
"command-line interface", but the spelling "Command line" is also ver
common - but in my view does not read very well in further
combinations, after all we don't provide a "Line tool".
Which English title one should it have? Perhaps "Taverna Command-Line
Tool" ? Weird?
We've got several native English speakers here from 3 different
continents - what are your views?

Thanks!
