Scott,
Thanks. That helps a great deal. While the Configuration chapter
does address the basic dspace.cfg (every single key in dspace.cfg
is there), it does not contain the customizations sections of JSPUI
and XMLUI. I've extracted them into their own chapters. (This actually
will make it possible to bring the DRI Schema into the chapter on
XMLUI.)
I would put on the table that the chapter on XMLUI should really be
called Manakin. I will leave the terminology alone as it is presently.
I think there is some "interchangeability" already present and will be
continued as such. But it does help to know how XMLUI and
Manakin did come about.
I've noticed that in many sections, the documentation refers to Web
User Interface, when it really means JSPUI and not the Manakin/XMLUI
configurations.
It may be advisable to use the term XMLUI when speaking of the
configuration/customization aspects, but the operational aspects as
Manakin--
as you have mentioned. As soon as I put the chapter on Manakin/XMLUI
together, I'll let you know--would you please review it?
The same can be said for JSPUI. Though Web User Interface is kind of
confusing.
Any one else want to throw their $.02 in, since the Manakin gods have
spoken?

Jeff,
XMLUI is the technical name for the software code, while Manakin is
the name of the interface for a particular set of versions. When we
developed Manakin we didn't want a name that people could grasp and
use to identify it, unlike the XMLUI which is more a technical
description than a name. We had anticipated that in the future
another major release of the interface could be under another name;
something similar to how "Snow Leopard" is the marketing name for
"Mac OS X 10.5", "Manakin" in the marketing name for "XMLUI 1.x"
In my opinion only programmers should use the XMLUI name, everything
else should be Manakin. However if this logic were followed
consistently then the war should probably be called manakin.war
instead of xmlui.war. It's not a huge deal either way, but I don't
think the documentation can drop either term completely as some may
only know "it" by only one of the names and not understand the
correlation.

Are we officially referring to Manakin as the XMLUI interface? And
if so, shall there be some reference to the old
name--still? (We have some references in the 1.5.2 documentation
with it in paranthesis).
TIA,
Jeff
