[xtext-dev] Re: TMF Xtext: naming
|
Hi,
in case you are wondering why Ed responds to a mail you didn't get: I sent the original mail with my "friese@xxxxxxxxx" account. However, I had been subscribed to xtext-dev with "peter.friese@xxxxxxxxx", so my mail got rejected by the list server. Sorry for any confusion this might have caused.
Peter

Subject: Re: TMF Xtext: naming
Peter,
I agree that TMF is not meaningful. Things like GMF and EMF are fine
because people become familiar with the fact that they are directly used
to denote a deliverable whereas things like MDT and TMF are really just
groupings of related meaningful things. Clearly Eclipse Textual
Modeling Framework Xtext would be too big a mouthful to swallow, so I
think your suggestion is a good one.
Cheers,
Ed
