My concern about using "SDK" in the name is that at least some people see that term and think "oh, that is something I install in my IDE".  As such, I would go more for Riena Tooling and Riena Target Platform.

Having said that, "Target Platform" can be misleading as it is really "things you can add to a target platform".  Perhaps "Riena Target Components"?

Christian Campo:

  • As briefly discussed in the confcall I think SDK is the right name for tooling and "target stuff" together. For the example that I know (RAP and Riena), tooling and target stuff will go together. So you need tool 1.3 to handle target stuff 1.3. So there it is natural to group them together.
  • So for Riena you could have "Riena SDK Tools" and "Riena SDK Target platform". Would it be sufficient to just have "Riena Tools" and "Riena Target platform" is a good question. I think the expression SDK is not absolutly necessary but it helps to understand the charactaristics of what you deliver since its a very common acronym.
  • Now how do you call the examples or demo? Are they "Riena SDK Examples" or "Riena Examples" ? I am not sure but for some reason "Riena SDK Examples" sounds better me because they showcase the SDK Target platform.
