[Labs-l] Naming of the two Tool Labs projects

Fri May 3 09:08:31 UTC 2013

Hi Marc and all!

On the German version of the Roadmap somebody commented on the naming
of the two projects "Bots" and "Tools" and found them unclear: From
what I understood the main differences between the two are 1) how
stable or experimental the tools are and 2) how the maintenance is
organized (rather community-driven or done by WMF staff and
WMF-approved volunteer admins). It is true that the name "Bots"
doesn't exactly tell "this is for experimental stuff". It rather
sounds like "this is for bots only".
Can these projects be easily renamed? If so, we should think about
choosing more meaningful names for them (e.g. "Experimental" vs.
"Stable").

What do you think about this?

Cheers, Silke
