Hey everyone, I know we're rocking towards 2.0 but this is a problem I've seen voiced a few times now. To date, the `name` field in charm has always been [a-z-0-9_-] where you can't end with `-#`. This makes sense, simple flat names that are all lowercase make it easy to do `juju deploy wordpress` instead of following branding guidelines of `juju deploy WordPress`.
However, a lot of applications have very specific branding guidelines for how their display name should be represented. Just a few for example: - WordPress - NS1 - MySQL - PostgreSQL Today, in the charmstore each is rendered as: - Wordpress - Ns1 - Mysql - Postgresql Very rarely do the display names in the charm store and the intended branding of application align. I'd like to propose an optional field in the charm metadata, `display-name` which would allow slightly more control over charmstore display: ``` name: ns1 display-name: NS1 ``` ``` name: mysql display-name: MySQL ``` etc. This would lead to the store and other places across the Juju Charms properties which referenced the Application, instead of the deployment instructions, to use the display-name field (see attached). Curious opinions on this, repercussions of adding metadata fields, esp for older versions of Juju, and if this is worth pursing.
