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."
