RE: BD-736 - Getting issue details... STATUS


Criteria for deciding this:  

  • a name that doesn't sound like just another repo of tools (because this isn't),
  • that captures the aspect of the tools being data transformation tools (extractors/converters),
  • and the aspect that these are relatively speaking easy to create/light weight wrappers around other 3rd party tools that are doing the bulk of the work (the mutt of software aspect)

Possible Names - discussion

Brown Dog Hub

BD Hub

  • Works but within the NSF world its too similar to the Big Data Hubs

I/O Hub

BDZoo

"Script Kitty" for the following reasons:

  • Fits the animal theme, fits as a thing related to Clowder and cats
  • The hacking term for novice hackers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Script_kiddie), resonates with the notion of simplifying the creation of extractors/converters for the scientific community
  • Has the word "Script", specifically the wrapper scripts used to bring tools in as extractors/converters (i.e. the BD scripts)
  • Plays on the notion of a "Kitty" in poker (https://www.thefreedictionary.com/kitty), specifically as a catalog of contributed tools as opposed to the poker definition of "A pool of money, especially one to which a number of people have contributed for a designated purpose."

BDBevy

  • a large group of things of a particular kind,
  • a group of birds
  • group working together

BD Tool Pack - or even Tool Pack ... we don't need BD/Brown Dog in front of it

  • a pack is what refers to a group of dogs - so this is a Pack of Tools for Brown Dog
