branding - rename org to sqljs-io

[kaizhu256]

pros of changing org-name from sql-js to sqljs-io:

• consistent prefixing with sqljs, e.g.:
  • sqljs-wasm-worker-debug.js
  • https://github.com/sqljs-io/sqljs-import-csv (example org repo naming convention)
• npm namespace is not taken - https://www.npmjs.com/package/sqljs-io
• domain-name is not taken - https://sqljs.io

cons

• name is a little longer
• we don't want to keep changing org-name. pick one and stick with it.

what do you think? also other name suggestions are welcome.

I would favor a different kind of solution: keep the repo here and put the homepage on sql.js.org

[kaizhu256]

i'm ok with that.

what about prefix-naming-convention?

1. sql-wasm-worker-debug.js, https://github.com/sql-js/sql-gui-library
2. sqljs-wasm-worker-debug.js, https://github.com/sql-js/sqljs-gui-library
3. sql-js-wasm-worker-debug.js, https://github.com/sql-js/sql-js-gui-library
4. sql.js-wasm-worker-debug.js, https://github.com/sql-js/sql-js-gui-library

i prefer 2 > 1 > 3 > 4

i'm ok with that.

I just opened js-org/js.org#3775 to start discussion of sql.js.org there, suspect it should be good since sql.js is so well-known. Normally they would need either the org name or the project name to match the "cname", not sure how strict it would have to be. (Maybe using https://github.com/sql-js/sql to host the homepage documents could be the solution, we will have to see from discussions.)

what about prefix-naming-convention?

I would vote 1 > 3 > 4 , 2

I just saw a nice response in js-org/js.org#3775 (comment), looks like it should be ok. Leaving it up to you guys now. 🚀

P.S. I just raised #361 to help track this idea.

[kaizhu256]

i'm ok with @brodybits preference for naming-convention:

1. sql-wasm-worker-debug.js, https://github.com/sql-js/sql-libraryorwhatnot

actionable item is to update Makefile to rename worker dist-files to new convention.

last call for [non] consensus before closing this issue?

[lovasoa]

This is a backward-incompatible change that I don't think we should do unless we have a good reason to.

[kaizhu256]

but we do agree to not rename the github-org? i want to unblock #360 so @kripken can move forward with the redirect gh-pages stub (or not, but at least have that issue resolved).

[lovasoa]

but we do agree not to rename the github organization ?

yes

[kaizhu256]

closing this issue as discussion has veered off-topic with no consensus. the original topic of renaming the org has been resolved as WON'T CHANGE.
