RE: [drupal-devel] CCK Name Conflict
-----Original Message----- From: drupal-devel-bounces@drupal.org
Dunno if y'all were aware, but Firefox has a new feature that goes by CCK which might cause some confusion with the Drupal CCK: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/cck/firefox/
This isn't "new", relatively. I remember using IE 3's CCK to custom build an IE for some of my customers.
No not new indeed. TDM TLA's exists. In 1989, a random of the journalistic persuasion asked hacker Paul Boutin "What do you think will be the biggest problem in computing in the 90s?" Paul's straight-faced response: "There are only 17,000 three-letter acronyms." (To be exact, there are 26^3 = 17,576.) [1] To get -a bit- more on toppic, we could be more creative than having a TLA for a module or a very detailed explaining name. Every tried looking for a module that does "something" with taxonomy? There are at least 10 modules with taxonomy in its name [2]. Now its up to the developer of a module to name its child, but lets get a bit more creative. There is nothing wrong with calling a module like Taxonomy Access Controle, "Cats and Dogs Control". I installed "Markdown with SmartyPants" just because it smelled funny. I know that when its rather specific, it doesnt hurt to have desciptive names like ""Amazon Search" but we can do better than having a module named "Members". Just imagine, Dries didnt came up with "Drupal" as a name but "CMS".
