Rename Palette to FRAME

[shawntabrizi]

To further avoid confusion between "Palette" and "Pallet", the libraries formerly known as the SRML will be called FRAME.

FRAME: Framework for Runtime Aggregation of Modularised Entities

FRAME is our framework for developing new Substrate pallets. Pallets are a special kind of Rust module from which Substrate runtimes can be composed. Each pallet has its own discrete logic which can modify the features and functionality of your blockchain's state transition function.

Please tell me this is the final rename...

[gavofyork]

Me too.

[gavofyork]

I think the idea is to keep renaming it until everyone is of the opinion that sticking with a name they don't like is better than having to change it again.

[gnunicorn]

minor changes requested.

[gnunicorn]

This also needs renaming, I guess?

[shawntabrizi]

There are actually a number of docs which still need to be fixed

[shawntabrizi]

I patched this, but we should do a docs pass at another time (so we dont block polkadot release)

[gnunicorn]

this might be a problem on a soft-upgrade ...

[shawntabrizi]

We should probably remove this from the key all together right?

Can we stick to "srml"? Short and understandable

@shawntabrizi @gavofyork me three.

[hskang9]

@shawntabrizi @gavofyork me four.

@kigawas @nodebreaker-carlsagan @hskang9 @gavofyork We would generally appreciate if you didn't name things after Substrate (or Rust). Therefore all Polkadot implementations (with different languages, frameworks, etc.) are somewhat on equal ground. Please avoid "srml".

if you regard "srml" as something like "gnu" or "unix" then it's just a name with 4 characters.

[kigawas]

And "frame" or "pallet" is too generic - sounds like a chemistry factory

@kigawas

if you regard "srml" as something like "gnu" or "unix" then it's just a name with 4 characters.

Acronyms are fine if they describe some generic components (Unix > Multics: "Multiplexed Information and Computing System"). But "srml" explicitly names Substrate, which is a Rust Framework.

[xlc]

@lamafab I am not offering opinions but wanting to point out the code in this repository is Substrate, a Rust framework. If someone reimplement it with another language, it will just be another different framework with a different name. I don't see why the name of this framework matters to other PRE (Polkadot Runtime Environment) framework.

This issue has been resolved and the PR merged. If you want to have a conversation about preferred names, this isn't the place for it. Locked the conversation to prevent further spamming the participants.
