470226 - [A-1] Extension identity and naming

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Collector Extension, defect)

Description

[Brian King [:kinger]]

Justin,

We talked a little bit last week about this but we did not reach any final conclusions. The goal is for the extension to be more user facing and have better linkage with the Collections initiative.

To be reviewed / changed:

- Name of the extension
- Title of Feeds tab in Add-ons window.
- Anything else?

Any thoughts on this Justin?

Still need to determine the name of the extension. We'll also be having a bandwagon logo made.

As for the title of the "Feeds" tab, that is covered in the new spec and is now called "Subscriptions".

The tentative name for the extension is "Mozilla Add-ons Companion". I've asked for feedback from the team on this name, but this is the best we've got so far.

I'm not a huge fan of that name, but can't offer a decent alternative right now :)

I've checked feed->subscription replacement changes, plus the new user facing add-on name. XPI is still called bandwagon for now.

Current id is:

Change now, or leave as-is?

[Justin Scott [:fligtar]]

That seems fine to leave as-is.
