Rename Category:Pods to Category:Cell
Why is this change being made?
As part of the recent reorganization, Group::Organization
was merged with Group::Pods
. The term Pods
conflicts with Kubernetes Pods and is not descriptive enough of the common goal of the team, which is to find a horizontal scaling solution. Thoughts on the exact reasoning for selecting Cells
as a team name are summarised here and here.
TL;DR:
- Group name becomes
Cells
(#g_cells) which is coherent with current group name ofPods
: plural, we are meant to deliver many Cells, each Cell having many Organizations - Group name is after a key feature that we are meant to deliver
- Categories that the team owns are then
Category:Organization
andCategory:Cell
