Decide on naming for OCW

[Lewis John Mcgibbney <le...@gmail.com>]

Hi Folks,
This thread is my intention to reduce the amount of vocabulary and acronyms
within the OCW documentation.
With specific focus on RCMET and OCW... can we please change every
occurence of RCMET to OCW?
The use of effectively two different naming conventions for the same thing
is really untidy and uber confusing for someone new.
I bring this up as it is something I've discovered whilst updating the
documentation.
Thoughts?
Thank you
Lewis

+1 on replacing everything with OCW. It really shouldn't reference RCMET at
all anymore. I think often time those things get overlooked when you're
familiar with the project. Thanks for catching 'em Lewis.

Lewis,

I agree and thanks for bringing it up.  As someone who has been around the
project for a long time I am guilty of using the terms to mean the same
thing.

The truth is they are no longer one and the same.  OCW was extracted from
the RCMES project, specifically the RCMET component, but after the
migration to Apache OCW was refactored a lot and now JPL's RCMET uses OCW.

In short, I think it would be good to take a pass over the documentation.
