[Bioc-devel] Process to rename a bioconductor package
Dear Lori, thanks for helping with this. We appreciate your concern about the ambiguity of the name. In our opinion the best option would be to rename it to 'OmaDB' to emphases both OMA and the fact that it queries a database. We would be very glad if you could initiate the process for rename then. Best wishes & thanks for your help again! Adrian

We can assist we renaming -? However - we would not recommend "oma"? as that is also rather short and ambiguous, especially considering that is the exact?abbreviated?name of the database your package accesses -? Could you come up with perhaps a more unambigious and meaningful name??? for example here are some existing rest api for databases: KEGGREST :?Client-side REST access to KEGG goTools:??Functions for Gene Ontology database IMPCdata:??Retrieves data from IMPC database InterMineR:??R Interface with InterMine-Powered Databases BgeeDB:??Annotation and gene expression data retrieval from Bgee database maybe something along those lines??

Dear all, we would like to rename or own bioconductor package 'roma' --> 'oma' (as there exists another software tool with that name that could be misleading). So far the package is only in the development version. Is there a standard process how to proceed with such requests? Thanks! Adrian
