Names
As I’m getting closer to announcing the stuff I’ve been working on, I need feedback/ideas on names.
Right now, I have the following working names:
- project name: XBiblio
- citation markup schema (what will be added to OpenOffice, but also standalone): XML Citation Schema (XCS)
- citation style language: Citation Style Language (CSL)
- formatting processor: CiteProc
I like XBiblio fine, though someone parked the domain name as soon as I registered it at Sourcefoge. With respect to XBiblio and CiteProc, I’ve run into two issues. First, people confuse the two. Second, it’s not clear how to pronounce CiteProc.
I’m not good with names. Any better ideas? Simple, clear, and catchy would be nice.
I suppose I could just call the project and the processor XBib, though the virtue of CiteProc is it has no reference to XML. Indeed, I could imagine someone rewriting it in another language; and so could imagine citeproc-py, citeproc-rb, etc.).
