I agree that people are not exposed enough to what happens in Moose. At the
moment, the name is GToolkit. Once it will become available in the
Configuration Browser it will be more visible.
But, I hope that in a reasonable time frame, we can get it in Pharo itself.
But, for that to happen, I need you lobby :).

I just see it that way: there is a traction behind
Pharo and Moose does
not seem to benefit from it. People who enter the Pharo community by using
Pharo directly rarely look at Moose, which is understandable I think. You
can see this by the effort being carried on the inspector and the explorer.
Having a name such as 'Pharo4Modelling' or 'PharoOnModels' would
implicitly conveys a more powerful Pharo. Where the word 'Moose' tells this
is something different.
Anyway, this is just a meta-thought.

Hi all,
I agree with Ben. Moose is not a bad name. But on the website there can
be more
focus on the other features of Moose: that it is also applicable
outside the software analysis.
Also I do like that it does not contain the name Pharo. It is primarily
intended
as a tool, that needs some programming to work for your needs.
That most of us use this as our development platform, as we like to analyse
our own software is secondary.
Cheers,
Diego

I later discovered FAMIX stuff kind-of related to what I was doing, but I
was unable to work out how to use it for my needs and had plenty else to
focus on for my dissertation. I think you do not _need_ to change the
name. If you want to reposition your marketing of Moose to push that Moose
now does more than before, you just need to update the home page, where
currently "humane assessment" takes prime spot. Humane Assessment has
its own very nice web site so perhaps a smaller presence linking to that
would be acceptable.

FAMIX
is there only for convenience for some use cases.

And we are almost there. We still need a couple of extra tools like a
Coder, but we can already affect development significantly with the
debugger, inspector and playground.

The Moose image is offering something else in addition to Moose, and I
think we should embrace this better.
