Research direction

The issue asks for naming suggestions for the quickstart Docker image and does not identify a file, test, or entry point. Review the proposals and reactions in issue #630 first; done is a decided name and an agreed follow-up scope for applying it.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The quickstart image contains a developer tool for use during development and testing of applications built on Stellar.

In the early days the image was the fastest way to get a core and horizon up and running. That is still the case today, but not in anyway that is considered "production ready" or "security hardened".

It's primary functionality is to run a local test network that can be used instead of testnet in environments like a local developers system, or in CI.

The name quickstart implies it's a way to go from zero to some running system, which it is, but it can be interpreted as these are the quickstarts to run a node, which it isn't.

There is probably a better more accurate, and intentional, name that we can come up with that better communicates that the image is for local or CI development and testing.

Please post suggestions for alternative names in this issue. Please keep suggestions brief so that folks can unambiguously thumb up your suggestion.
