WDYT?

Great that you start this discussion :-). As proposed I think we should
use http://wiki.apache.org/lenya/Glossary for writing
down the findings and discuss each term on this list individually.

I very much like where this talk is going.  Terms are getting much
more specific.

BTWI think I was unclear earlier in what I meant by "Content Item" and
its relationship to Document.  I meant that both a Document and an
Asset are each Content Items.  I didn't mean for "Content Item" to
mean the aggregate of a Document and its Assets.

One thing, though:  It isn't clear to me whether Jörn and Solprovider
really agree on what a Document is.  Jörn seems to be using Document
as the aggregate/container term for both the editable text and the
assets of a page.  But Solprovider seems to be suggesting the words
Resource or Content for that purpose.

now that you say it, you are right. i had read solprovider's remark the way i wanted it to read :(

I wonder if we shouldn't promote "Asset" a little like this: A
Document consists of Assets.  An Asset can be any of the following:  a
German translation of the document, a French translation, a JPEG
image, a PDF file, etc. All are assets.  Collectively, they are a
Document.  This approach does away with the need for "Content Item"
and helps us in treating assets just like other managed content, which
several people have stated as a goal.

i like that. "asset" is a very generic term, and its good to use it in such a generic way.

+1 on using Revision instead of Version

Also, I agree completely in using the Glossary wiki page;  I didn't
realize it existed.  I will rename CMSTerminology to
CMSTerminologyComparison and will remove the now-redundant
definitions.  I think Glossary should be used for both 1.2 and 1.4
terms, since most aren't changing.  The differences between 1.2. and
1.4 definitions should be noted in their Glossary definitions.

agreed. i will add a note saying so.
