Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Question of Terminology?
I don't have strong opinions about what we should use, but keep in mind that we need two different terms to describe the subunits of sidebars. Thus, at least in other LO guides I have worked on, "decks" are the equivalent of pages and "panels" are the equivalent of sections of pages. When I first ran across this usage, I remember thinking that "deck" seemed a somewhat unusual word for this context while "panel" seemed like a good choice for either a "page" or a "section."

[libreoffice-documentation] Question of Terminology?
Hi Folks, I am working to finish my (very slow) review of Jean's revision of CG6204. In the process it occurred to me that in this and other guides we have mostly used the term "Panel" to reference parts of the sidebar, whereas the UX/Design folks and some support channels commonly refer to sidebar "Decks". While this is definitely not a critical issue, I feel that we should as far as possible maintain consistency in the terminology we use to identify the components of the software's UI. Any thoughts, or should we discuss at the next meeting?
