Description Fabrice Florin 2013-10-25 02:18:42 UTC
As a user, I want short product names that are easy to remember. I also want product and extension names to be consistent, so that I am not confused.

For that reason, we would like to rename the 'Multimedia Viewer' Extension to be called 'Media Viewer', to match the product plan and promotion for this new feature.
​
This requires the following tasks:
* Change Extension Name
* Rename pages that link to it

It would be best if we could make this change before our first release, so we don't end up confusing users by doing it later.

This caused me to not be able to file two bugs under the correct component. I was looking for "MediaViewer" and couldn't find it.
Comment 3 Andre Klapper 2013-11-04 22:41:21 UTC
Fabrice: Just drop a line here if you want me to go ahead and rename the component in Bugzilla.
Comment 4 Mark Holmquist 2013-11-20 00:01:26 UTC
Soooo lowest.

I don't think there's a single reason to do this - it means two different names for the extension and the "feature", but that happened with Echo/Notifications and we're all still intact and breathing, so I'd be happy just leaving it the way it is.

Fabrice, if you're cool with that, please close this bug and the Mingle ticket, else leave it and I'll get to it eventually.

Doesn't seem like this is going to happen.
