Hi all,
I have a few questions regarding some of the recent changes to some of
the terminology used in the conferencing section of sipXconfig.
1. "Deaf/Un-Deaf" --> "Isolate/Include"
Don't get me wrong - I hated the terminology "Deaf/Un-Deaf". But I think
"Isolate/Include" is even less clear.
It's also inaccurate - if you "deaf" or "isolate" a conference
participant, while they cannot hear the conference, they still can
speak. They are not truly "isolated" unless they are deafed AND muted.
A bigger question may be... do we really even need this functionality?
Why would a user even be in a conference if they can't hear anything?
2. "Kick" --> "Evict" ?
I don't understand the objection to the term "Kick". It's very commonly
used for this exact type of scenario:
The misbehaving student was kicked out of class.
Bob was in the Army until he got kicked out.
See: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/kick, definition 31:
"kick out, Informal.
a. To oust or eject: They have been kicked out of the country club. "
Kick is much clearer than Evict... what is the motivation for this change?
