This is a terrible name. JSR already stands for "Java Specification Request" which is basically an RFC or standard for Java (not JavaScript).
This is going to make Google searches even more difficult. Searching for Java jobs and getting JavaScript jobs is already bad enough. This name is just making a big mess with semantic name collision in our mental namespaces.
Just make it "RfJS" maybe for "Registry for JavaScript" (if that doesn't class). I know Firefox had a few naming rounds going through Phoenix and Firebird IIRC first.
No opinion on the actual project itself.
- lolinder 3y agoJSR is also a company that produces synthetic rubber, a semiconductors company, a pharma company, a journal, and a company that produces merch for rock musicians. All of these rank higher on Google for JSR than Java Specification Requests. Given that you're going to have a hard time pulling up the JSR you're looking for without adding qualifiers anyway, I don't think this name choice is going to substantially change anything.
