fxn name conflicts about taxa HOT 7 CLOSED

for taxa classes we talked about using hierarchies, but for taxa classes we talked about using hierarchies, but...

I actually just addressed this in my PR before even seeing this issue

for the function taxa for taxa classes, the pkg is named taxa, so i'm using taxa_ right now

Yea, I was thinking about that too. I think the package should be renamed since taxa is such a good name for a class. The best new package name I came up with is taxar, which is OK, but not great.

One option is to simply merge binomen and taxa packages

I would be fine with that.

from taxa.

Saw the PR, thanks

I think merging into binomen is ideal, esp since there are already parsing/etc. methods for taxmap classes, and no equivalent for taxa classes. dplyr is needed for taxmap methods, and also for binomen methods, so we're not adding additional heavy dependencies

from taxa.

Sounds good to me

from taxa.

In order to maintain the issue and commit history of this repo, what do you think of merging the code of the current binomen and renaming this repo to binomen?

from taxa.

I do want to retain commit history for both - i'll google around how best to do the merge

from taxa.

That would be great if that is possible

from taxa.

i think we can close this now, since just porting over some verb like methods from binomen

still not sure if we need/should change taxa_ or not
