Hi all, I am loth to open a naming debate, so as agreed on the call yesterday let's make it swift. I initially planned on doing this on a Friday, but I won't be around tomorrow so today's the new Friday. We've resolved to use the navigator.device.<module>.<method> form yesterday (for APIs where it makes sense, naturally). It's been suggested that "device" isn't such a great name, and alternatives have been proposed. The following alternative (including keeping things as they are) have been proposed: device service api ext Since this is essentially a bike-shed decision, I've decided to use a variant of the Survivor decision process. The normal Survivor process is synchronous and therefore won't work well here. The variant is this: please vote with the list of options above ordered from the one you *hate most* (and therefore want to see voted off the island) to the one you hate least. The winner will be selected using a commonsensical ordering and tequila. Voting closes when I get to work Monday morning; since this is a vote (albeit informal) we don't need to know what the reasoning behind your preference is (though you may include it, if it's entertaining enough). My vote: api, ext, device, service. -- Robin Berjon robineko — hired gun, higher standards http://robineko.com/
