Let's kick off the mailing list with a debate! At our meeting in Antwerp, while explaining the domain architecture to people one point that kept coming up was the name "server manager", which was confusing for a few people. We chatted about it for a while and the conclusion was that we should rename some pieces to become more consistent. The most-approved rename idea went like this: Domain Controller -> Domain Controller (no change) Server Manager -> Host Controller Process Manager -> Process Controller Server -> Server (no change) The two main points are: 1. Use either "Controller" or "Manager", not both. Be consistent. 2. Server Manager sounds like it manages one Server when actually it manages all servers on a host. And, it reads "host.xml", not "server.xml". Now that we've got Alpha1 out there, we presumably have a full understanding of the problem. So, now's the (only) time to make this kind of change before it's set in stone... forever. So, this is the point where Brian kills me. :-)

For what its worth Brian gave me a hug when I told him.

I'm +1 btw. I keep saying the new names when explaining it. /max (sent from my phone) On 23/11/2010, at 04.19, "David M.

Didn't (former) Server Manager & Process Manager merge into one? Or we are still referring to both? +1 for the new names. David M.
