#19616: metrics-lib should be renamed to DescripTor ---------------------------------+------------------------- Reporter: iwakeh | Owner: karsten Type: task | Status: new Priority: Medium | Milestone: Component: Metrics/metrics-lib | Version: Severity: Normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Actual Points: Parent ID: | Points: Reviewer: | Sponsor: ---------------------------------+-------------------------
Comment (by atagar): TL;DR: Trouble is the name collision with a term commonly used in our space. If you chose 'VecTor', 'SculpTor', or any other word not commonly used in our space this wouldn't be an issue. For ideas that keep your convention check 'grep "tor$" /usr/share/dict/words' - there's 1,595 options. The trouble with 'DescripTor' is actually the same issue I ran into with 'arm'. Confusion with the body part wasn't an issue, but the processor *was*. Any time 'arm' was discussed in #tor-dev it caused a moment of confusion where nobody knew which we were discussing. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/19616#comment:3> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online _______________________________________________ tor-bugs mailing list tor-bugs@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-bugs
