Exactly! :) When I looked at the site this morning,
there were lots of statements like (I'm paraphrasing),
"the Commons project is dedicated toward creating and
maintaining reusable components." Unfortunately,
that's only part of what Commons does, and I think it
gives short shrift to the Sandbox and the Directory,
which have different objectives.
I just updated the site with my proposed changes.
Check it out and see if you agree. Now most of the
places that talk about our component repository call
it "Commons Proper" instead of just Commons. I think
it's an improvement.
(BTW, I'm not a big fan of the site DTD yet. Too
limiting.)
