I have to hazard a guess that the lengthy discussions in the drupal-devel list a by product of us removing the issues from being mirrored here (which is a good thing). Now back to Custom Short Alias Path URL ... I know other CMS's call it "short URL", but that is because their URLs are notoriously long with lots of arguments For example, here is the home page of Post Nuke (the same terminology is used for Xaraya and others) http://www.postnuke.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Navigation&file=index So, changing it to http://www.postnuke.com/article1234.html is really shortening it. Drupal's URLs have always been short, specially so after 4.5, just "node/123". So, if we want to go with the industry jargon, then "short url" can be it, but it will be a misnomer. This is where contrived names are useful: they are often meaningless and just invented to coin a term (thing AJAX, Yahoo, ...etc.) I think that the discussion has taken more bandwidth from all of us than really warranted. It looked like we had consensus for a while, but then it turned around completely. Perhaps it is the vocal minority syndrome ? Other alternatives: Why don't we setup a poll on Drupal.org for such things as naming features, and see what is voted for the most? On 10/5/05, Morbus Iff <morbus@disobey.com> wrote:
Sure...except all the discussion has been labeling. e.g. taxonomy is called "categories" on the menu, but the module didn't get renamed.
.. .... .. Another +1 for "taxonomy" instead of "categories"!
