Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Since Colman was asking about lay-out, I didn't get into the Scoop "newspaper" analogy by which the welcome or main page is called the front page, and what goes on it are front-page stories. User posts are called "diaries" which I have always found inappropriate. I don't think it helps anyone to understand what's going on, and I think we could see if we shouldn't change the terminology (if Scoop permits?).

"Articles" is clearer, though we're still in the newspaper business there. I don't see why we should ape the press, even by this kind of distant and loose language. We should do some brainstorming around this.

I completely agree.. I do not like diaries at all.

I prefer articles much more....

But we could certianly try to find a better term.
Brainstroming...

I like contributions....yes indeed...

I would not have any problem with contribution, discussion or articles.
