Help us name a new section of this site

I like the term Upstream just not sure it would mean much to passers by. DataTinker is good too.

CoLab
DataLab
DataDive
DataDoodle
DataDabble
DataDip

Data Workbench
Evidence Room
Fixer Files
Repair Data Shop

Upstream describes Restart’s purpose/aim, not necessarily directly the user’s immediate intention when contributing to these tasks.

describes what this dashboard will show, so why not “Your contributions”?

Great brainstorm @Monique! I particularly love Workbench, Evidence, Files,…

Something evocative of evidence, forensics, etc. is really powerful. Also because it suggests “the crime” of early obsolescence.

(Teardown doesn’t work semantically really, sounds too destructive.)

Yes, workbench is just right, very inviting and analytical👌.

All done, thanks Janet :slight_smile:

Perhaps “workbench” would work on the top menu, if we create an icon that is suggestive of data? Or analysis?

Data workbench could be the full name, displayed on the section, as “Upstream” is above. @james? @neil?

I actually think what we currently call “Fixometer” contains more access to the contributions and raw data. We’re hoping this area will be more about the analysis and digestion of the data, if that makes sense @Ian_Barnard?

I like Workbench :slight_smile: As you say Janet, just ‘Workbench’ in the menu, and ‘Data Workbench’ once you’ve clicked through.

It’s the same number of characters as ‘Fixometer’, so should fit fine.

It’s interesting enough that people might click on it before they know what it is, and once you then see Data Workbench you would pretty quickly get an idea what it’s about. And yes with a good icon (something graph-y on a bench?) it won’t need ‘Data’ in the menu.

Gets my vote!

Thanks so much everyone - it sounds like (Data) Workbench is a goer. Great idea @Monique!

I’ll keep this topic open for now in case anyone has further thoughts, but I think we’ll go with Workbench for now.

@Estelle_Vercez1, @Manu_RepairTogether or @Jonathan_Vigne, what would be the best French translation for ‘workbench’ and ‘data workbench’? ‘Établi’?

Hello :slight_smile:

Nice feature and nice name !
For the French name, we can go for “Atelier” and “Atelier de données”.
@Manu_RepairTogether told me that the term “entrepôt de données” is also used, but it is not really sexy :wink:
@Estelle_Vercez1 proposed “plateforme” but maybe it is too far from the meaning we want
