Just want to put to the attention and consideration of all the following.<br><br>I am someone looking for a CMS.<br><br>I go to the joomla page.<br><br><a href="http://www.joomla.org/">http://www.joomla.org/</a><br><br>I click on the extensions primary menu option.
<br><br><a href="http://extensions.joomla.org/">http://extensions.joomla.org/</a><br><br>I don't need to spend a jolt-cola sip in order to know what "module" means or to know what "profile... meta..." means.
<br><br>I see "extensions".<br><br>Some of them are "core enhancements", some of them are "admin tools", some of them are "e-Commerce", and, hey, ... some of them are "vertical markets" (auto & vehicles, education...).
<br><br>ok!<br><br>Now if I were a developer, I would go to the developer primary menu option and take a look at stuff like the Framework Overview, and Framework API, where I learn with interest that ... ooh, a nice little diagram that shows me Components, modules, templates, on one tier, and the application tier and the framework tier, and since I am a developer I ... care.

<br><br></div></div>I am remembering my searching for CMS software and Drupal (4.7.x at the<br>time) was the easiest for me to use. Let's not get hung up on terms<br>and make sure the documentation to explain the terms we use are in
<br>place. If we denote properly so that we can avoid the wrong connote<br>then we can use the more general term profile for different objects.<br>Kind of like using node for more than one object which makes sense in<br>
terms of expandability as has been described recently but for those<br>using Drupal a while and not involved with development might be a bit<br>confusing due to the connotation already ingrained.<br><br>Profile: Meta data that describes different objects within Drupal.
<br>1) User profile - Meta data about a user such as birth date, email<br>address, etc.<br>2) Package profile - Meta data describing the default look and feel of<br>a Drupal installation such as a blog profile, forum profile, etc.
