I agree with ubuntu-download-manager as a name, since that's the name developers will be interacting with if they're using our SDK. For example under QML they're importing Ubuntu.DownloadManager and the C++ namespace is Ubuntu::DownloadManager. So the interface being named ubuntu-download-manager seems perfectly natural to me (in fact this was the initial name I proposed for it, before it was suggested that download-manager might be a better name). <div class="gmail-HOEnZb"><div class="gmail-h5"> On Wed, 2017-01-18 at 13:22 -0200, Gustavo Niemeyer wrote: > The second part of the point was cut out.
