> Subject: [RFC] SCAP security guide to become member of larger community - OpenSCAP ecosystem by changing it's name to
> OpenSCAP security guide?
>
> Hello folks,
>
> in effort to increase discoverability of security compliance solutions,
> Simon created github's entry for OpenSCAP ecosystem yesterday:
> [1] https://github.com/OpenSCAP
>
> collecting all the relevant tools / products, necessary to perform
> security compliance checks in automated way. The intention of this
> ecosystem is to have all the parts available at one place, so people
> interested in automated SCAP scans wouldn't need to search for:
> * the scanner,
> * tailoring / remediation tool,
> * the content itself
> at three different locations.
>
> For now those repositories are just mirrors of their parental ones
> (copies which will get updated on regular basis - Simon can clarify
> how often).
>
> Together with this change, we have received proposal of icon / logo
> for the SCAP security guide project. Though yet before you download
> & inspect the attached tarballs, I need to mention, there are two
> versions of the icons attached:
> * one is for current "SCAP Security Guide" project name
> (SCAP_logos_SCAP_security_guide.tar.gz),
> * the second to see the proposal if the name of the project would change
> to "OpenSCAP Security Guide" (OpenSCAP_logos_SCAP_security_guide.tar.gz)
>
> Since there's effort to create OpenSCAP ecosystem, of which SCAP security
> guide
> project is its indisputable part, besides cloning the repository, the other
> natural subsequent step, coming to mind is to have the project renamed
> from SCAP security guide to OpenSCAP security guide.
>
> In our opinion, look at OpenSCAP ecosystem [1] might induce the potential
> user's impression, the whole project being organized properly (all parts
> being available at one place and all parts named by same prefix, differing
> just by component's name).
>
> The pros / cons of the name change as I was able to collect are as follows:
>
> Pros:
> * whole (security compliance) solution can be viewed / looked at like
> having organized & unified form (distinguished just by component's name /
> colour of the icon),
>
> * all the necessary bits are reachable at one place (=> lowering the
> potential
> user's "start barrier" in effort to get familiar with the concept)
>
> Cons:
> * user's accustomed to old name might get confused. It might need to take
> some time till they get accustomed to start using new name,
>
> * the content being named "OpenSCAP Security Guide" (IOW with OpenSCAP brand)
> might induce the impression, it's not usable in other tools / scanners
> than just by OpenSCAP one. This could be overcome by us providing tutorial
> articles / images pinpointing the use of SCAP Security Guide content with
> tools (scanners) other than OpenSCAP to disperse the potential confusion
> (clearly state it's possible to use it in other scanners too).
>
> To express my subjective opinion I like the idea of the project to be
> renamed to "OpenSCAP Security Guide". But wanted to know wider opinions
> from the community on the potential translation.
