Hi devs,

We've recently discussed about renaming the notion of (sub)wiki from "wiki" to 
"subwiki". We've discussed this in the context of integrating creation of 
(sub)wikis by default in the platform and in XE. So the latest discussion 
seemed to agree about:
* Calling the whole system a "Wiki"
* Calling each (sub)wikis a "SubWiki"

Now, I was working on updating the new model branch I have created to align to 
this and to rename my Server class to a Wiki class and my existing Wiki class 
to a SubWiki class…

I've realized that aligning our API on this is a huge task since we have tons 
of APIs using the word "wiki". Just to cite 3:
* WikiReference (reference)
* WikiComponentScope.WIKI (wiki component)
* WikiDeletedEvent (bridge)

It's a bit everywhere and changing that seems too big a task IMO.

Thus we have 2 real choices IMO:
* Agree that the UI has a different wording than the API: SubWiki for the UI 
and Wiki for the API
* Don't use subwiki in the UI and keep using Wiki in the UI and find another 
word to represent the whole system (System/Portal/Wiki System/WMS = Wiki 
Management System/Home/etc).

WDYT?

Thanks
-Vincent
