The reason I said project wasn’t clear even for devs is because exo is not about development of extensions; it’s about using binaries. In a dev context project makes sense but in a runtime context, it doesn’t really. You don’t install a project and you don’t consider binaries to be a project. The goal of a project is to create something; it’s a work in progress. You do install a Product so that might be a better word but it looks too big. I still find “Group” the best work proposed so far. Let’s see what others think.
