GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 690944
DevStudio vs IDE
Last modified: 2020-11-06 20:21:40 UTC
Hi documenters! While reviewing a translation I realized that the user interface refers to the app itself as either Anjuta alone or as an IDE(Integrated Development Environment Anjuta), but the documentation refers to it as Anjuta DevStudio. Wouldn't make sense to come up with some consistency in both UI and documentation? Cheers,

Yes, I'm agree that it can be a bit confusing. So I have asked the question on the mailing list but we have no clear rules.. We typically call it Anjuta alone and that's the name that will appear in error messages or inside the documentation. I think it's better to keep a simple name when there is no ambiguities. I think it can still be useful to use Anjuta DevStudio when used in a wider context, by example on a web page. The about dialog could use Anjuta DevStudio too. Do you think it's ok to keep using these two names? or do you think it's better to keep only one? in this case we will probably keep only Anjuta. For IDE, it's quite clear that Anjuta is an IDE but we shouldn't call it "Anjuta IDE" only Anjuta or Anjuta DevStudio.

For most applications we're trying to consistently display exactly one user-facing name. On a webpage you could always say "Anjuta, an IDE" or something along those lines.
