Hi all,
I'd like to solicit suggestions for a term. I know there's no "set" or
"right" or "proved" one, and I know it's my choice, but I would like more
suggestions, in the hopes that one of them will sound better than what I've
come up with.
We have three levels of information included in our documentation:
Product level (the most general level)
*something* level (the intermediate level)
Module level (the detailed level)
The terms "product" and "module" are set at this point (we have a May 1
release date), and cannot be changed. However, we need a name for the
intermediate level of information. Two ideas thus far have been "Functional
Area" and "Subject Area", but I'm not too thrilled with either of those.
