Chandler migration - happy surprise Chandler Preview is out!

“repository view” is just a database ref

Something that I find often confuses code I am looking at is the use in Chandler of the term ‘view’ to refer to a database cursor/reference. In most apps out there, ‘view’ refers to a very specific piece of UI.

I wish we could globally substitute something like ‘dbRef’ wherever we use ‘view’ in Chandler’s code. It would make reading the code a lot easier clearer.

And actually, while we’re at it, replace all uses of ‘repository’ with ‘repo’. ‘repository’ doesn’t mean very muchand ‘repo’ stands out more.

Ya, I seem to be in a complaining mood. :-)
