Rename configuration property defining if a group is always open or not
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MGNLUI-29
                 URL: http://jira.magnolia-cms.com/browse/MGNLUI-29
             Project: Magnolia UI
          Issue Type: Improvement
      Security Level: Public
            Reporter: Andreas Weder


The ["App framework" 
section|http://wiki.magnolia-cms.com/display/DOCS/App+Framework#AppFramework-AppLauncherconfiguration]
 of the "How to build a Magnolia 5 app" in the draft of the Magnolia 5 book 
mentions a configuration option named "permanent", which defines whether a 
group in the upper section of the Apps screen and thus remains always open, or 
if it's not there and thus appears in the lower section and is closed by 
default.

I think that *"permanent" is not such a good name for this property*, since it 
introduces a term that is not used when we describe this feature. 

I thus suggest we name that property:
* "permanentlyOpen" or "remainsOpen" to emphasize that the group should be 
always opened (would be set to "false" if a user moves it down, but it actually 
makes a behavior of the UI, which may change, part of the name)
* "isInUpperArea" to emphasize that a group is in the upper or lower section of 
the Apps screen (sounds a bit clumsy, but is less dependent on what it means to 
be in the upper area)
* "isPreferredGroup" to emphasize the original intention in that a group you 
considered important should appears either in the upper section of the Apps 
screen (dito as above, but but better emphasis on semantics)

or similar. I'd probably go for option 3 with the suggested or a similar 
wording.
