Lightbox is too reminiscent of
http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightbox_(JavaScript)
If I were the only one to make that gaff (before I joined the
project!) I wouldn't be motivated so suggest there was confusion, but
I've heard others also confusing them.
The term lightbox might already be too deeply associated with the
above for us to use.
Though much less sexy, I like the self-explanatory. We've got a
burden of confusion to contend with and calling a spade a spade might
help.

This sounds like a great initiative which will reduce confusion.
I'm really not fond of the name "Thumbnail Reorderer" though,
it sounds like it is something which would be nasty to work on :)
How about simply "Lightbox Reorderer"?

Quoting Erin Yu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hi,
The new names for the Reorderer components have been suggested a
couple of times recently.
The responses have been positive, but no actions have been taken, so
here's a quick recap:
The two family members of the Reorderer (Lightbox and Layout
Customizer) have rather ambiguous names, and we would like to give
them self-explanatory and consistent names to make it easier for
whomever visiting our wiki.
I heard from a lot of you that it would be a good idea to change...
Lightbox ---> Thumbnail Reorderer
Layout Customizer ---> Layout Reorderer
and the List Reorderer would keep its lovely name.
If you have any concerns, please let me know tomorrow. If not, I'll
go ahead and make these changes on the wiki towards the end of day
tomorrow (Wednesday). :)
Erin, your wiki janitor
