But continuing to add "what should the name be" discussions to both threads only spreads the conversation out so no consensus can be clearly established. That's why we have "close as duplicate." | |
| Oct 31, 2011 at 18:15 | comment | added | Faheem Mitha | Thanks for your reply, though I don't see why it was necessary to close the question. At least it would stand as a record for people who are wondering about the name change. In that sense it is not an exact duplicate of the other question. It may be the case that "Scientific Computing" is the more popular name, but I suggest the community should decide this. Perhaps some kind of voting scheme could be devised, as I mentioned elsewhere, and a final decision could be taken before the beta. As for the subdomain name, there are lots of possible names, so I don't think this will be a problem. | |
