GVCS machine naming convention proposal
  • The CEB Press was originally called The Liberator.  I appreciate the aptness of giving it a more usefully descriptive name, but -- while I am not an expert -- I am concerned the over-genericness of "Compressed Earth Block Press" could cause trouble.  I suggest a specific naming convention for each GVCS machine to simply be GVCS <machine name>; thus, "CEB Press" could be instead referred to as the GVCS Press, at least in formal documentation and referring to it outside the OSE group.  There wouldn't be a need to rename the wiki articles, as it would be needlessly redundant to rename all machine articles to lead with GVCS, but when writing articles about OSE-developed GVCS machines, I think it could give a nice touch of distinctiveness, making the machines more proper nouns instead of generic machine names.

    Its just a thought, though I am going to try actually putting it into play in appropriate places in the how-to-build documentation I am attempting to put together for the GVCS CEB Press.

    Thank you for reading and considering my idea!

    Outside of OSE, I refer to thinks like the "OSE CEB Press" or the "OSE Nuclear Power Plant".  Marcin has given names to some of the machines, like the PowerCube and Lifetrac.  Other names may follow, though I wouldn't expect much input onto what things should be called.
