I’m assuming you were answering to the following which was in my last email " Yes indeed. So let’s refine the definition: - one XXX space (e.g. Blog space) for holding content pages and UI pages - one XXXCode space (e.g. BlogCode space) for holding technical pages Thanks -Vincent “ In the case of applications that don’t produce content pages and that don’t have any UI pages, they’d just use a XXXCode space and there would be no XXX space. For example the Activity Stream app has no UI and doesn’t produce any content page so indeed its 2 pages would go in the ActivityStreamCode space. WDYT?
