Name is a bit confusing about concord

[trodrigues]

+1. moodle is a huge education platform which have existed for years, and googling for this project is going to be impossible.

[sokra]

The name is temporary. Feel free to propose any name... I'm pretty bad it finding a name.

[sokra]

• mpackle
• moopackle
• typedPackage
• typedPack

[andreypopp]

• webpackage — a (not so) hidden webpack advertisement ;-)
• wpackage
• webpacket

[dashed]

modcap

module + capsule = modcap

[jeffling]

@andreypopp i like that direction from a marketing perspective :)

• webmodule? https://www.google.ca/search?q=web+module At a cursory glance, doesn't seem like there is anything close to what this project is attempting with that name, surprisingly.
• pack? webpack packs packs.

[dashed]

+1 on webmodule.

[sokra]

webmodule is not possible because of this: https://github.com/uupaa/WebModule

panbox

pan-

a combining form meaning “all,” occurring originally in loanwords from Greek ( panacea; panoply), but now used freely as a general formative ( panleukopenia; panorama; pantelegraph; pantheism; pantonality), and especially in terms, formed at will, implying the union of all branches of a group ( Pan-Christian; Panhellenic; Pan-Slavism). The hyphen and the second capital tend with longer use to be lost, unless they are retained in order to set off clearly the component parts.

• webcyst
• webpan
• mpan

unimod ?

uniform module

[jeffling]

• webpacked My personal favourite :) "it's a webpacked module"
• panweb - it's a panweb module.
• omnipack
• panpack? kinda awkward to look at but fun to say
• moopack? sokra seems to like the 'moo' and it sounds kind of cute. but sounds like something you can buy from a school cafeteria.

I was thinking of "web module" too and was surprised that Google didn't return a distinct result. The name sounds somewhat official and unbiased - which is good 😀

I'd avoid any congruence with the name "webpack" (literally just anything ending on "pack") because it should be an invitation for everyone to contribute.

Imho this name should not depend on availability of the npm name. Why do we need a npm module for the spec anyway? And if we do need one, we could try to convince the current owner to transfer the name.

And if nothing helps: "Panweb Module Spec" sounds pretty cool, too 👍 🍻

• wodule

(It's a pity there's already a bodule)

I would like to have a npm module, just to reserve it for future usage.

I think so too.

So if we filter all proposals to this criteria:

• modcap
• webcyst
• webpan
• mpan
• unimod
• panweb
• wodule

wodule sounds good because it's a single word, doesn't exist and is free on npm...

[jhnns]

I'm not happy with wodule 😭 ... I want something pseudo-"official" like Promise/A+-spec. Promise/A+ was just a proposal without standard committee and everything, but every modern promise library tried to stick to it.

[okonet]

My 2 cents. IMO it's really important how it sound "in the wild": if it's clear enough when someone is using it in a speech.

My preference is still "web module": it has similarity to other module systems like npm, it's clear what purpose it serve (say you have a webmodule.json on FS).

Probably "wmodule" will also work:
—what are you using?
—we're using wmodules.

wyt?

“Frontend Module”? Similar to Node Module,

[sokra]

Note on Frontend: As you should be able to use "it" also on the backend, this is probably a bad word. Same for browser, etc.

[jhnns]

UWM (Universal Web Module)? Similar to UMD.

pod + module = podule

Agree with @okonet on his points.
Rather than making up a name, it'll be good to use an actual word: concord

Definition:

agreement between things; mutual fitness; harmony.

When you refer to the "module" in docs, conversation, etc; you'd refer it as a concord module.

On npm, it looks like the name is being squatted:
https://www.npmjs.org/package/concord
https://github.com/ashnur/concord

[jhnns]

concord is a nice name!

[jeffling]

+1 for concord

[sokra]

ok...

[jhnns]

web molecule is also cool 😀
