[Design] [cosmo] Draft: Consistent language on the web UI/desktop

[Mimi Yin]

Hi Priss,

I added a list for Terminology at the top of the page. I figure this  
list will grow, this is just a start.

I also re-formatted the stuff from the January thread with mde re:  
Error messages at the bottom to separate out the original message  
from the suggested rewording, as well as to call out questions.  
http://wiki.osafoundation.org/Journal/ 
ConsistentLanguageHubDesktop#ErrorThread

It looked like you added some stuff to the list? Would you mind re- 
working your additions to the re-formatted list?

Aside from:
+ Making all copy consistent with the Terminology list at the top  
(e.g. Log in, not Log In, not Login)
+ Replacing Cosmo with Chandler Hub / Chandler Server
+ Add in the instructions for setting up external applications to  
publish to Chandler Hub / Chandler Server
+ Add in time zone copy
+ Add in user log in area links
+ Fill out the Detail View
+ Standardize when we use 'xxxx'.

Is there anything else?

Question: Will we be able to customize the UI to say Chandler Hub /  
Chandler Server?
