Hi devs and especially Thomas,

I personally don’t like too much the naming of “Filter” for the Filter 
Application at 
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Filter+Application

When I look at it, it doesn’t look like a Filter. A filter is used to transform 
some content by removing some elements from the content (to filter them out).

It looks a lot more like a Conversion Application.

WDYT?

Also, we really need to improve this because for an end user it’s impossible to 
understand that to import some Confluence content into XWiki they have to use 
the Filter Application with the Filter Confluence XML module. It looks more 
like a Confluence Parser than a Filter module in this case (I don’t think it 
doesn’t any output, just input AFAIK).

Renaming to Conversion Application would not be enough either on this topic. 
Having a simplified Confluence Importer Application with a simplified UI but 
based on the “Filter Application” is the best. 

In the meantime I’ve added a new page for Imports at 
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/Imports
</aside but related>

Thanks
-Vincent
