Hi, In the spirit of keeping it simple. Why not "Configuration" ? OSGi Configuration is nearly always referred to as "OSGi Configuration" by those that use Sling/AEM. I think it's only referred to as Configuration by those whose context is nearly always OSGi, ie OSGI developers. Most deployers d

Hi, Preferences normally refer to something a user specifies, specific to their user account. Configuration is something a deployer specifies for others via a GUI or a file. While I agree the line is blurred as the deployer of Sling/AEM could be considered to be a user, they are not a user in the
