Rename "iotp" to "iot-ibm" or similar?

Hi all,

I am currently thinking of adding modules to support other IoT Platforms:

  *   Google IoT
  *   AWS IoT
  *   Siemens MindSphere

For that the “iotp” sort of doesn’t quite fit as it’s not just “one” IoT platform.
So would you be ok with renaming that to something like: “iot-ibm” or similar?

Then we’d have:

  *   Iot-ibm
  *   Iot-aws
  *   Iot-google
  *   Iot-mindsphere/siemens

Yeah, “iotp” isn’t very clear/helpful.  I’ve often used “wiotp” when referring to “Watson IoT Platform”.
FWIW, wiotp's API’s base package name is com.ibm.iotf (IoT Framework) and Edgent’s connector was originally named “iotf”.  Then renamed when they changed the name, but not package name, to “IoT Platform”.

+1 on a good naming scheme :-)

Adding “ibm” and/or “watson” to the [package] name seems like a reasonable idea.

Don’t forget about the “iotp" samples, website doc, recipes, and backward compatibility :-(  Probably have to deprecate but retain the old names.

Probably Mindsphere which is probably very interesting for PLC4X+Edgent solutions will stay a fantasy as I'm not willing to pay the 10k€/developer/year just to be able to access their libs (Not even mentioning that this totally disqualifies it for being added to an Apache project).

Hi,

Well on our company in-house conference last Thursday to Sunday I had one session on "implementing IoT Platform adapters for Apache Edgent" and I got some people together and we started to work on an AWS IoT Connector. Seems that the concepts of the iot module can be implemented 1-to-1 with AWS. 

So this will be the thing I'll be working on actively. I think supporting as many IoT Platforms as possible will help Edgents adoption. Probably Mindsphere which is probably very interesting for PLC4X+Edgent solutions will stay a fantasy as I'm not willing to pay the 10k€/developer/year just to be able to access their libs (Not even mentioning that this totally disqualifies it for being added to an Apache project).

So probably Googles platform will follow ....

But I still want to rename the "iotp" module to something like "iot-watson" or "iot-ibm-watson"

+1 , I think we also could support to EdgexFoundry in the future.
