[drupal-docs] Customizing applications pages - was: minor correction

[Kieran Lal]

How about we change modules to applications.  Everywhere else on  
planet earth we call them applications.  It's a usability issue.    
Every time I talk to someone who doesn't read 50 drupal posts a day  
they look at me with a glazed look over their eyes when I say the  
word module.

Here are some definitions to consider:
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=modules
Computer Science. A portion of a program that carries out a specific  
function and may be used alone or combined with other modules of the  
same program.

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=applications
Computer Science. A computer program with a user interface.

I'll bow to the consistency rule if necessary.  But we should do the  
right thing and use words that normal people understand.

Cheers,
Kieran
