Please consider another name for the plugin

[woodwm]

Probably "Knowledge4Zotero" is not a good name for it because zotero is a knowledge management tool. If you search "knowledge zotero" in google, you are unable to find the plugin. If you use "knowledge zotero plugin", you can only find the post in Zotero forum, rather then the github page.

Please consider a better name for it. "BetterNotes" or something else.

[windingwind]

This addon is inspired by Citavi's knowledge function, that's why it's called Knowledge4Zotero.

It was first called Notero in the inside version, but soon we found this name is already taken by another addon.

Thanks for your suggestion, but changing the name, especially after the addon is released, will cause tons of problems, like an auto-update failure, and being unable to find the addon(from the forum and other social media links).

Github allows to redirect the link. See https://github.blog/2013-05-16-repository-redirects-are-here/. Forum post can also be edited.

I never used Citavi, so not sure. I think "Knowledge" is a too broad word for this plugin. The name is difficult to find in google. Please try the keywords I showed.

Thanks! You lit up my mind.
‘BetterNotes’ seems to be a little bit limited. Sounds like a note editor enhancement.

I want to show more, something like a new note workflow. No complex settings between Zotero & Editors like Obsidian, just do your note: all in Zotero.

[woodwm]

Workflow is how people use the software rather than the things the software is dealing with. See zotero-better-bibtex. It mainly operates on bibtex, including citation key and bibtex output. It certainly defines a workflow for latex user as well. "better-bibtex" is a clear name for it.

Why notes editor enhancement is limited for this plugin? This is exactly it is doing.

I do not mean "BetterNotes" is the best name, but I think it is clear. Other clear names certainly can be considered. Hope more users can suggest on this.

[windingwind]

Nice point.

You convinced me. We do have a long bargain about the name. Unfortunately, most of them are already used.

I'll change the repo name. Thanks!

[woodwm]

I guess you can leave it for few days before making the final decision. You may also ask for suggestions on the Zotero forum. I think you will get many great ideas about the names.

Aha, I just did the rename. The name is good enough!

Leave it for a while until there is a better name. Thanks!

[virologist]

Zotero-better-note matchs my mind. Lol

[windingwind]

I need some time to update the documents and code to adjust the new name. If you are willing to help, welcome any PR!

[woodwm]

The collection name "My Knowledge" can be renamed as "Notes Workspace" or "Notes Hub" or other similar.

Please run some tests (or beta versions) before you commit the name changes to avoid make trouble for the existing users. Nobody want to lose their notes.

[windingwind]

I'll make a pre-release for the first version after the rename.

Don't worry, the "My Knowledge" is just a recommended place to put your notes. Rename it or not does not affect your data or this addon's function.

[windingwind]

@woodwm Please try the pre-release v0.2.0-0. Besides the rename, some buttons in the workspace window are moved to the menu bar.

[woodwm]

I think the following is the default created notes in the main workspace. The templates need to be changed as well. More specifically, remove the introduction of knowledge in the first section.
