OK, I guess it's time for "dictator decision" and I'm going to take
this responsibility. ^___^

The Synfig terminology will be reworked in following way:

Duck -> Control Point
Curves panel -> Graphs panel
Encapsulate -> Group (icon needs to be reworked: box or folder)
Paste Canvas layer -> Group layer (icon needs to be reworked: same as above)
Group -> Set (icon needs to be reworked)
Add/remove from Group->Add/remove from Set (icon needs to be reworked)
BLine -> Spline
BLine Point -> Spline Point
BLine Tool -> Spline Tool
Params -> Parameters
Children -> Library (icon needs to be reworked: something related with books)
CPoint -> Color stop

So the next steps are:

1. I will install AprovedRevs extension to the wiki
(http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Approved_Revs).
The idea is to have "two-layered" wiki.

First layer considered "stable" - it is a publicly visible by default
and it's a static snapshot of documentation at some point.
Second layer is "documentation in development". It is not visible by
default, but people can continue contribute to documentation "on
background", until another "snapshot" is done and the changes go to
stable.

This approach will allow us to edit the wiki at any time, with no
hurry, without breaking current state of things - people will still
see "old" version. As soon as new version of Synfig (with new
terminology) will be released, we just "approve" development version
of documentation to stable.

2. I'm going to rewrite a few documentation pages to see how new
terminology fits the whole picture. At this stage if something will
not fit - then make correction to the "dictator decision" until
everything will be fine.

3. Do changes to the code (in separate branch, I think)

4. Develop new icons.

5. Make an effort to proofread all documentation pages with new terminology.

That's all.
>From now on everyone are free to hate me. And I love you all. ^___^
Thank you for great discussion - I have learned a lot form it.
Cheers!
