[Sugar-devel] Naming of "sugar", the Sugar Shell

[Luke Faraone]

Hi all,

Currently the sugar shell package is named "sugar",
http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/sugar/. Bernie, Marco, Morgs, and I were
talking about it on IRC recently, and Morgan expressed concern that, to
users, there might be confusion between the "sugar desktop" (sucrose), and
that of the shell/glucose.

As far as the API is concerned, the shell is imported as
jarabe<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jarabe>,
which means *syrup* in Spanish. (single words are more convinent for python
packages, I've been told)

In order to reduce confusion, we should, IMHO, change the name of the
"sugar" package to either "jarabe" (which would be sugar-jarabe in most
distros) or "sugar-shell" (which, oddly enough, is also a meaningful
phrase<http://www.thefreedictionary.com/sugar+shell>).
