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.
