Re: [be] future bibledit

[David Gardner]

Dear Teus,
 Can I suggest that calling the new code bibledit might be a bad start?
Reasons:

1. Confusion 
- people might have previously looked at bibledit and decided it's not for 
them (e.g. they want the new one).
- People might want the new one, look in the repositories and get the old
  one.
- People might want to update their desktop installation and find that it's
  suddenly gone.
- reviewers / recomenders / experts can't say "get the latest version of
  bibledit" if there are 2 versions around.

2. Versioning
- The new program will presumably start with a lower version number,
 which means that installers won't install it. 

3. bug reporting
  "I've found a bug, introduced in bibledit 3.2"  could well be a real
  problem down the road.


Can I suggest you name the new one bibledit-web or similar?

I'm not at all sure that this is true...  I can see that it's a trend in
some circles, but from what I've read there's quite a lot of scepticism 
about the concept of cloud-computing too (aspects such as excessive
dependence, lack of control, accidental deletion or hardware failure, etc.).
