I am not sure why you would want what looks like a looping redirect or is this paragraph trying to say if you create a loop by mistake ocPortal is smart enough to fix it on its own? |

Special tip
If you want a module to behave as if it was completely moved, you can set up a transparent redirect from your desired location to the actual location, and then a non-transparent redirect from the actual location to the desired location. ocPortal will sense your intent, so when you do something that searches for that module (e.g. for the Wiki+ module, doing a Wiki+ link) it will go to where you want. For example, if you wanted to move the supermembers module from the Collaboration Zone to the Site zone, you could set up these redirects: site:supermembers–>collaboration:supermembers transparent and collaboration:supermembers–>site:supermembers non-transparent. ocPortal will see the transparent redirect as an indication the supermembers module really has a proper home in the site zone, and it will see the non-transparent redirect as an indication the supermembers module really does not have a proper home in the collaboration zone; ocPortal will respect these indications and link to the module in its new home.

You are not renaming CEDI to Wiki+ are you? CEDI is so much more than an enhanced wiki…. so much more.

We are. This was discussed a while back, and the consensus was for it. When we created CEDI (or seedy as it was first known) nobody knew what a wiki was. Now people will look at feature lists for 'wiki'. Additionally, it is vital we strip out as much special terminology as possible from ocPortal so it aligns with concepts people already know; some people get overwhelmed and probably some will always do, so we need to minimise the information overload as much as we possibly can.

I guess it does remove the need of me advertising it as "CEDI: Think Wiki on steroids + contrule forum + the god tool of content management." But I have to say, I will miss that term. I will probably always refer to it as a CEDI  Hehe.. seedy… I like that. I bet when you named it CEDI you were simply looking for a cleaver set of abbrivations that would sound like seedy.

 .'CD' (community database) wouldn't be a decent abbreviation for obvious reasons), so as a joke we called it 'seedy', then people didn't find it professional so we called it 'CEDI', now it's 'Wiki+' but it'll probably be v10 or v11 before we've removed all the internal uses of the names seedy & cedi from things like database table names. CD -> seedy -> CEDI -> Wiki+ If I answered something that you think should be in the documentation, please take the initiative and add it to the community documentation.

1.) Bland 2.) Unoriginal 3.) Following the "Google+" trend 4.) Makes it seem like we are just now catching up with the "wiki craze", despite having a better than wiki tool since before wikipedia was popular But yeah, all-in-all, a name is just a name. As long as there's no feature regression tied to the name change, I'm all good.

1/4 – we're helping people make websites, which are a standard thing. When someone creates a website using ocPortal, they aren't creating an 'ocPortal website', they are creating a 'website'. If I answered something that you think should be in the documentation, please take the initiative and add it to the community documentation. We really need people to help out here and build a well-organised large support resource. |

Please, you shouldn't feel the need to defend it. You should just crack open a cold one, sit back, glare at the monitor at my post, and throw darts at a picture of me. If it makes you feel any better, I put up a fuss with Calligra developers as well over their name choices .

Ditto .Seriously though, I tend to prefer open discussions, the truth comes out from it, and putting perspectives against each other is a learning opportunity for all discussers.

That said while your updated definition of the redirection process is much better it still seems a little confusing and I still find I have to read that a couple times to make sense of it. I think that is a section of Documentation that could really use a pretty Flow Diagram.
