Nov 14, 2016 at 12:09 comment added christian.s @MMacD the operations are not visibile next to each other, the operations will be performed at different "locations" in the program. I am trying to enforce consistence for which keyword to use.
Nov 13, 2016 at 22:12 comment added MMacD What's the motivation behind offering all three choices? What circumstances would cause the person to prefer each choice over either of the others? My suspicion at the moment is that you might want to use the same verb for all three, but qualified. E.g. New (empty) ; New (framework only) ; New (basic functionality). But that still leaves me wondering why anyone would ever choose anything but the one that has some functionality already in place.

Nov 4, 2016 at 20:40 comment added christian.s @MMacD i will try to edit the post to elaborate it a bit more, but the difference is not large at all - so you might be right.
Nov 4, 2016 at 19:54 comment added MMacD Those single terms don't seem to carry enough meaning all by themselves. You would probably want to expand them a little. For example, I don't really understand even from your description what the key difference is between things created by "new" and "insert".
