I agree that we should look at it from the users point of view.
Every one I know that use it including myself refer to it as The Sword.
I would be willing to guess that most everyone out there who has a copy
on their computer also refer to it as the Sword.
I think most of the mail from users has referred to it as the Sword in
some form.
I believe the general user will say "What does CS stand for?
" What kind of a logo do you make for a CS ? :-)
'CrossWire Bible Society'- is the sponsor of The Sword Project.
'The Sword Project'- produces the Bible software
'Sword API'- is the Sword Application Programming Interface
'Sword Module Add-ins'- is the name of the text modules
The Icon says "The SWORD Project".
The window title says "The SWORD Project".
The Help Content says SWORD Help
The Help About says "The SWORD Project".
BibleCS seems to be an in house name. The program does not convey that
name.
Martin suggested WinSword.
Since everything else seems to be called the Sword something and the
software we are speaking of naming is the product of The Sword
Project.... Winsword or Sword Bible or something like that seems to make
sense to me.
I, though I don't think like a developer, like The Sword or the Sword.
But maybe developers are fond of CS for some reason.
If BibleCS is the name I'll get used to it. I'll think its odd but I will
get used to it. ;}
Just my thoughts and thought process.
I just asked my wife. Her comment. "If people know it as the Sword, why
change it?"
