What should we call the Wave Interference sim variant where each screen is a different wave medium?

[samreid]

From phetsims/wave-interference#356

New repo "waves" or "Waves: Basics"--email with @arouinfar to come up with a name.
...
I'd like to finalize the sim name before creating the repo.

@kathy-phet, @arouinfar and @ariel-phet what do you recommend for this simulation name?

[arouinfar]

I would simply call this sim "Waves". I think "Waves: Basics" implies that there is a non-basics version of the same name/topic, which wouldn't really be true here.

[ariel-phet]

I agree "Waves" is better than "Waves: Basics"

But perhaps something that implies a more introductory quality. Much like we have "Fractions Intro" maybe this could be "Waves Intro"?

[arouinfar]

I really like Waves Intro! @kathy-phet @samreid how does that sound to you?

[samreid]

"Fractions: Intro" has a colon, would we want that for "Waves: Intro" too?

[ariel-phet]

@samreid the colon is since there are several flavors of Fractions. I would be fine with or without the colon. If we use the colon, that would give us a little flexibility if we had a different flavor at some point like "Waves: Advanced" or something.

No really strong opinions here, will leave it up to @arouinfar and @kathy-phet

[arouinfar]

"Fractions: Intro" has a colon

Oh, good point @samreid, though as @ariel-phet mentioned, Fractions has several flavors. I'm not sure that we would do the same here, so I think no colon seems slightly more appropriate.

Curious if @kathy-phet has any thoughts here.

[kathy-phet]

I like Waves Intro. I can go either way. For the Screens it will appear as "Waves Intro - Water", "Waves Intro - Sound". "Waves: Intro - Water", "Waves: Intro - Sound".Does that make folks lean towards or away from a colon?

[samreid]

I do not have a strong preference between "Waves: Intro" or "Waves Intro", but in either case the repo name will be the same: "waves-intro". Also, in previous comments it seems like the team is leaning towards "Waves Intro", so I'll begin with that and we can change it if/when desired.

[samreid]

I created a "waves-intro" repo and named the sim "Waves Intro" for now. Labeling for design meeting to see if there's anything else to discuss or do here, or if this issue can be closed.

[arouinfar]

I created a "waves-intro" repo and named the sim "Waves Intro" for now.

Sounds good @samreid. Can you move this issue over to the waves-intro repo?

[samreid]

I moved the issue.

[samreid]

At today's meeting we decided "Waves Intro" is settled as a name, closing.
