We need to unify terminology for all the various types of sources from which packages are installed (CDs, DVDs, network sources, etc.). So before I start saying what I think and why, I'd like to know what the community thinks. Please give me your reasoning for your preferred terminology.
I'd appreciate feedback by the end of the week so we can get the discussion going and hopefully reach a decision soon.
there should be a dictionnary or at least a wiki page with the prefered terms (I know there is already such things for Novell)
this is also very usefull for translations
It's in the style guide. All this is already available. What I need now is to know what I should add for this situation.

In the past, we had consistently used installation source, but some things happened that cost us that consistency. So now we need to make an informed decision so we can encourage consistency again.
IMHO, the term "installation sources" fits very well as does not explicitly name the actual medium the person installing his/her system may use (CDs/DVD/FTP tree or whatever) and OTOH the term is not too generic so that it could mean anything Tanja --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-doc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-doc+help@opensuse.org
