Well, that's probably a good idea. Maybe we should go that way.

A "solution" is a "solution", no > matter in a farm or in a kitchen :) I still like the idea of the cookbook/recipe metaphor in our solutions. It works great for PmWiki and seems to capture the right idea of "how to" do things. Here are some other brain-storming alternatives, though none quite grab me: sports/coaches -- doesn't work for plugins as well as step by step atlas/maps or directions -- well, whatever construction/blueprint -- this is all right but sure doesn't grab me extensions--some things aren't extensions though... Just how to's Maybe some of you can think of others. Solutions just doesn't do it for me--though there's nothing wrong with it. I really like the cookbook/recipe thing though... Does anyone have any better alternatives, or any reasons against this?
