Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-timing] Rename spec and wording to be more generic

The CSS Working Group just discussed `CSS Timing`, and agreed to the following resolutions:

* `RESOLVED: Rename css-timing-functions to css-easing-functions, shortname: css-easing`

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;iank_> Topic: CSS Timing<br>
&lt;iank_> astearns: Lea may call in later.<br>
&lt;iank_> Rossen: brian can you cover those.<br>
&lt;iank_> birtles: The first issue should be easy, spec - css timing functions, there is interest in using those functions in other specs, e.g. gradient stops<br>
&lt;iank_> birtles: css-easing-functions, shortname: css-easy<br>
&lt;dbaron> Zakim, remind us in 9 hours to go home<br>
&lt;Zakim> ok, dbaron<br>
&lt;iank_> birtles: Does anyone have any other suggestions for the name for renaming the spec?<br>
&lt;fantasai> s/css-easy/css-easing/<br>
&lt;iank_> Rossen: Everyone one happy with those names?<br>
&lt;dino> Dean Jackson, Apple<br>
&lt;iank_> birtles: shortname should be css-easing<br>
&lt;iank_> dauwhe: easing doesn't seem obvious to see, an animation term?<br>
&lt;iank_> birtles: I think it still makes sense in gradient stops.<br>
&lt;iank_> glazou: I think that only english speakers would get it.<br>
&lt;tantek> I don't think even native english speakers will get it either<br>
&lt;tantek> feels like a very "insidery" term<br>
&lt;iank_> Florian: If you use powerpoint, etc, you've probvably used ease-in/out and from there you can work it out?<br>
&lt;tantek> but I have no alternatives to suggest :(<br>
&lt;Myles_> css-curves?<br>
&lt;tantek> is there a github issue for this?<br>
&lt;iank_> birtles: In web animations the property that uses that function is called easing.<br>
&lt;iank_> Rossen: Parametric functions.<br>
&lt;iank_> birtles: just the short name is css-easing<br>
&lt;iank_> fantasai: css-interpolates?<br>
&lt;tantek> what is the github issue?<br>
&lt;iank_> birtles: interpolates has a very different meaning in animations.<br>
&lt;astearns> https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/1577<br>
&lt;iank_> Github: https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/1577<br>
&lt;iank_> Myles_: What these functions are used for today<br>
&lt;fantasai> fantasai^: "CSS Transition Functions" seems the most easy to understand<br>
&lt;iank_> fantasai: Animations.<br>
&lt;iank_> Rossen: Transition functions sounds pretty easy<br>
&lt;Florian> css-curves<br>
&lt;tantek> I agree with https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/1577#issuecomment-314214840<br>
&lt;iank_> tantek: quoting lea - Progression is an everyday word, but easing is specific to animation<br>
&lt;glazou> +1 to what Florian said<br>
&lt;iank_> birtles: progression doesn't suggest an easing function, fwds vs. bwds.<br>
&lt;Rossen> css-curves with short name of css-curvy?<br>
&lt;iank_> dino: Easing is the industry term...<br>
&lt;fantasai> fantasai: I think css-progress is reasonably straightforward<br>
&lt;fantasai> dino: That seems too generic<br>
&lt;iank_> dino: I think understanding terms, is least of worry<br>
&lt;iank_> Florian: if this is a confusing term, which would make you believe something else...<br>
&lt;iank_> Rossen: Can everyone live with easing functions?<br>
&lt;iank_> &lt;silence><br>
&lt;tantek> -o<br>
&lt;tantek> -0<br>
&lt;Florian> s/something else.../something else, it would be a problem, but merely unfamiliar is OK/<br>
&lt;iank_> RESOLVED: Rename css-timing-functions to css-easing-functions, shortname: css-easing<br>
