There was a thread on fluid-talk (I think( early in 2008 about this. I can't find the original thread, but the follow-up (definitely on fluid- talk) was titled "Renaming the Portlet Layout Manager" and it starts in Feb. with a summary of all of the suggestions. I think we used 'customize' instead of 'reorder' because of the whole columns aspect - there was more to it than just changing a linear order. If I recall correctly, it was Erin that suggested the name? > Is there a reason to change it? My understanding is that the motivation for using the word 'reorderer' is to establish consistency - to have all of the different flavours of reorderer use the form of "XXX Reorderer" -- Anastasia Cheetham [EMAIL PROTECTED] Software Designer, Fluid Project http://fluidproject.org Adaptive Technology Resource Centre / University of Toronto _______________________________________________ fluid-work mailing list [email protected] http://fluidproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fluid-work
