Is it Metal, MetalJS, Metal JS, Metal.js?

"Metal", on it's own, will not Google well.

I assume it's Metal.js. We should refer to it consistently as Metal.js, not Metal.

Also, since this is early in it's life, should the project url (liferay/metal) in Github be updated to liferay/metal.js or liferay/metaljs?

Good point @blzaugg. For now, these are the names we registered:

Domain

Social

GitHub

  • github.com/metaljs we're not planning to use this one, we just created to make sure nobody will get it
  • liferay/metal will contain the core foundation
  • liferay/metaljs.com will contain the website for this project
  • liferay/generator-metal will contain the tool to scaffold a component (it needs to start with "generator" because that's how Yeoman generators are defined)

We're able to rename the GitHub repo to liferay/metal.js or liferay/metaljs.

But we also need to keep in mind those who will create components using metal as a prefix to identify that it uses Metal.js, for example: metal-position.

I think metal-position is fine, as those people and searches for it should correlate to our project just fine.

I think we can rename this repo metal.js. Both https://github.com/eduardolundgren/tracking.js and https://github.com/angular/angular.js have been successful when using this .js suffix.

Thanks @blzaugg!
