It's getting to be about time we split Taylor into separate ORM and view/blueprint libraries. 

We can probably keep the name 'taylor' for the ORM side, or perhaps rename it to 'tailor' since that's more in line with the intent of it 'stitching' queries together. But that leaves the question of what to call the view side of it? 

Do we want start grouping libraries under the praxis "brand"? Call it something like "praxis-display" or "praxis-views" (although we should try to stay away from views, as that might get confused with with actual template rendering)? 

For that matter, do we want to rename attributor? As it is, its entirely standalone, is useful without anything else in praxis, and is extremely competitive with similar libraries out there already, so we don't really want it to seem like it's too tied to praxis. At the same time, it sure simplifies the naming and branding!

Any thoughts?

Back a couple months ago I was thinking about a good name for the blueprints piece of Taylor and couldn't come up with anything that wasn't already taken. "Vista" for the views definition is the best I could come up with ... and I don't think it's a good choice either.

I think that naming it praxis-blueprints is perfectly fine. It can technically be used outside Praxis, but practically speaking it won't be too likely to happen. So, since there are no more pros-cons and has been a week, I'd say let's go ahead with that gem name.

I would not change Attributor at all. Like you said we've put it together as a standalone piece and should remain like that.

As far as changing Taylor to Tailor...I honestly not sure it is worth the effort. I would probably stay away from changing it unless there's a big itch you cannot stop scratching...

Cheers,

Josep M.
