If we |

8 |
sci-visualisation (or I |
9 |

10 |
general. There |
11 |

12 |
some |

plotting |

It stands for much of the tree outside sci as well (app-mobilephone, |
22 |
app-emulation, app-accessibility, games-simulation et al.). After much |
23 |
discussion in the past, probably on -dev, it's just as easy for somebody |
24 |
to tab-complete one or the other. But one name makes instant sense to |
25 |
anyone looking at it, and the other requires some thought to figure out. |
