You know, when I see "webui" I always think of the word Webooey. Wow,
surely we can come up with a monicker for that.
We should run a contest for that and offer something. I don't know
what, but something.
Any game takers?

We also created / popularized the term JSPUI when we introduced
Manakin. We used it as term to compare and contrast the interfaces
and I don't think it wasn't cemented until we moved to Maven and the
maven project was called jspui. Before the move to maven and before
Manakin was merged with DSpace typically the JSPUI was refereed to
just as the "webui" or the web interface. However with two user
interfaces that term becomes confusing.

Scott,
Thanks. That helps a great deal. While the Configuration chapter
does address the basic dspace.cfg (every single key in dspace.cfg
is there), it does not contain the customizations sections of JSPUI
and XMLUI. I've extracted them into their own chapters. (This
actually
will make it possible to bring the DRI Schema into the chapter on
XMLUI.)
I would put on the table that the chapter on XMLUI should really be
called Manakin. I will leave the terminology alone as it is
presently.
I think there is some "interchangeability" already present and will
be continued as such. But it does help to know how XMLUI and
Manakin did come about.
I've noticed that in many sections, the documentation refers to Web
User Interface, when it really means JSPUI and not the Manakin/XMLUI
configurations.
It may be advisable to use the term XMLUI when speaking of the
configuration/customization aspects, but the operational aspects as
Manakin--
as you have mentioned. As soon as I put the chapter on Manakin/
XMLUI together, I'll let you know--would you please review it?
The same can be said for JSPUI. Though Web User Interface is kind
of confusing.
Any one else want to throw their $.02 in, since the Manakin gods
have spoken?

Jeff,
XMLUI is the technical name for the software code, while Manakin
is the name of the interface for a particular set of versions.
When we developed Manakin we didn't want a name that people could
grasp and use to identify it, unlike the XMLUI which is more a
technical description than a name. We had anticipated that in the
future another major release of the interface could be under
another name; something similar to how "Snow Leopard" is the
marketing name for "Mac OS X 10.5", "Manakin" in the marketing
name for "XMLUI 1.x"
In my opinion only programmers should use the XMLUI name,
everything else should be Manakin. However if this logic were
followed consistently then the war should probably be called
manakin.war instead of xmlui.war. It's not a huge deal either way,
but I don't think the documentation can drop either term
completely as some may only know "it" by only one of the names and
not understand the correlation.

Are we officially referring to Manakin as the XMLUI interface?
And if so, shall there be some reference to the old
name--still? (We have some references in the 1.5.2 documentation
with it in paranthesis).
TIA,
Jeff
