cms.js is not a CMS, please rename it.

[toutpt]

Please, don't name it cms.
cms.js do not let the user manage it's content.
The content is managed outside (by a text editor).

Every CMS provide:

• server side to store the data
• backend to write the content
• front end to let visitor view the content

CMS.js provide:

• tools to transform text into web page using theme.

So it is not a CMS.

I would recommend to change the name.

Definitely open to suggestions. Anyone have any ideas?

[dindinet]

ops.js

one page static

[chrisdiana]

I like the direction. I'm going to leave this open bit longer to give anyone else that would like the opportunity to voice their suggestions. Then, maybe setup a small Google poll to see what majority likes.

[ali4ever4]

just suggesting
CMMS.js :)

clientside Markdown markup system

[GersonLazaro]

CMMS.js!

[chrisdiana]

👍 nice

[chrisdiana]

Clientside Markdown Site?....doh

[ali4ever4]

CMS
CMS is Markdown Site

[j10wy]

I'm a fan of CMS, CMMS, or something like jsSG. When I heard about CMS.js I immediately thought of it as an alternative to Jekyll, not Wordpress, Drupal, etc. This is a really cool project. Thank you!

[raphaelbastide]

Voilà could be a nice name.

EDIT: and of course it already exists.

[deanapeterson]

presto.js

[cicerohen]

@cdmedia simplestatic.js

[chrisdiana]

Thanks for all the suggestions all. I'm going to leave this open till Monday and then we can vote.

I've always thought a JS rendering engine would be really cool and so I went searching for it and finally found what you made here. Glad to catch it so early after you put it on Github so I can be a part of it. Here's a few name ideas. Note that I didn't look to see if any of them have already been taken or otherwise branded.

Copper.js (Client-side One Page Publishing Engine for Reading)
Raw.js (Render A Website, Render App Websites)
Web.js (Website Brewer, brew in the sense of Javascript :D)
Mr.js (Markdown Router)
Chai.js (Client Helps Activate It - sorry, had to throw in another coffee shop word)

[DanielBaird]

Should avoid M-for-markdown in the name, coz expanding to other markup languages is a fairly likely future evolution.

How about Wahlah.js? wahlah dot io is available.

[polmoneys]

love what you are building here, i'll be playing with it this weekend 😺

Not an english speaker but to me feels as a piece of code that allows us to share ideas on the web fast so something in the spirit of ship.js could work.

[ghost]

@DanielBaird Good point about M-for-markdown. I assume by Wahlah, you mean the onomatopoeia of voila. Lol, in search for this, I found some guy who was mad about people spelling it that way. Here's his quote, just for fun.

"I wish people would stop writing "wallah" instead of "voilà". It probably irks me the most out of all the misspellings out there. It’s pronounced VWAH-LAH. Not WAH-LAH." - (Source)

@polmoneys I like ship.js too. Plays on that include...
vessel.js (don't really like that as much)

Perhaps naming it after a ship like the fastest ship ever.
Francisco.js - (Source)

Perhaps a famous ship.
Ark.js - Obviously Noah's Ark from the Bible.
Titanic.js - Would probably get buried in search results, due to the popularity of the boat. Also wouldn't want to associate the project with a ship that ultimately met its doom at the ice cold hands of the Atlantic. Oh, there's another name.

Atlantic.js

Or other ships...
kaya.js - Japanese Destroyer

Or in a totally different direction...
Agni.js - Name it after a messenger god (Source)
Concorde.js - Fast Jet

IMHO a different voting system should be used ;). I will completely not put
that link on Slack to skew the results.

Thanks @zamber for the link. Cool explanation. I never really thought if it like that. Since, it's already up I took a look at the options for voting and enabled multiple submissions.

[ghost]

Honestly, when it comes down to it, CMS.js is great so I voted for it.

[matheus]

My suggestion is MrHyde because is the good side of Dr Jekyll or hydejs

[ghost]

@matheus I'm sold. I actually really love that.

The concept of that name has already been taken for a Python alternative to Jekyll, granted, there's no reason this project can't do the same. Still, since this isn't actually a static site generator, perhaps another piece of fiction could be assessed for a name.

Bradshaw is a character from the same book. He is Dr. Jekyll's footman and man-about-the-house, who goes around to the back entry of Jekyll's laboratory to guard the back door. In a way, since CMS.js is a client-side renderer, you could say that it is "guarding the back door" so to speak. You know, keeping the backend away and focusing on the front. Bradshaw.js anyone? Or even use lab.js as a reference to Jekyll's lab. Rather than just showing a static site (Jekyll), instead use the lab to render the site. Lab referring to the inner workings rather than just the static output.

-hears someone say just let it die- Ok, I'm going to step out.

[DanielBaird]

@barryanders I reckon not Hyde, because it's kind of defining the project in its relation to some other project which isn't so cool. A more obscure character from the story, like Bradshaw, I think is fine though.

I still like wahlah, partly because it's a whole hearted adoption of the misspelling and mispronunciation of violá (implying pragmatism) but I also just realised that you can make it even more defiant AND web applicable by tripling the w to make it wwwahlah.

Wwwahlah

seems awesome to me. I do like

Bradshaw

though, it's clean, pronounceable.. might be hard to get a domain for.

[chrisdiana]

Results are in! Thank you all for taking the time to voice your suggestions/votes!

1.Keep it the same - CMS.js
2. Copper.js
3. Mr.js

Results`

[jamieisboss]

If the name was decided in february, which i like, and awesome solution btw, why keep this issue open, link to it from the wiki pages and close this off, you did it already! A tidy house is a something... i dunno, good.
