2012-05-23 Thread Sergiu Ivanov
Hello, I am trying to figure out what name to give to the new category theory module. I have considered a number of possibilities: * ct -- this corresponds to the common abbreviation of "category theory" as CT, but I'm afraid is absolutely non-suggestive; * categories -- this seems to fit nic

Hi, I have no strong opinion and I don't think it matters much either way. If we come up with an ingenious choice later (before the first release, obviously), renaming is always a possiblity. I agree ct is too short. Imho it shouldn't be too long either (because then I have difficulty thinki
