Description Darin Adler 2001-09-10 00:44:29 UTC
Is Meta View really a term we want as part of our user interface? I don't think
so.

I agree.  It needs a better name. 

Marking assigned.

The new term is "Sidebar Panels". Now that we have chosen it, we can just rename
the Preferences panel. Or it can be called "Sidebar" and have some explanatory
text about the list of panels and any other controls relating to the sidebar.

The only remaining aspect of this task now that Ramiro has expunged "meta views"
is to add a sentence at the top of the page explaining what the checkboxes are
for. Something like: "Choose which panels should appear in the sidebar."

This is now fixed.

Setting all bugs to P6 to start official bug-prioritization plan. Please don't
set the priority to anything other than P6 unless you've got the gold seal of
approval for doing so.
