Colin's description makes them sound like starter kits. How about calling them "Starter Kits"? I think this makes them sound as incomplete, but what you need to get started with one particular area of functionality.

I saw "Starting Points" and wondered what it meant. I would have had the same issue with "Springboards". Now you say these are names for Functional Examples, I have an idea what to expect and why I might want to go look at one. This suggests to me that "Functional Examples" might be the *useful* name. Less exotic of course...

Once you go to one and see what it is you will learn the intended meaning quickly, but why add that load to the visitor?

Great feedback. I guess this highlights the problem with the name Functional Examples. We're talking here about chunks of simple HTML and JavaScript code used to get developers up and running with Infusion. They're designed to be looked at, dissected, and used as a starting point for your own development. As such, they make for less compelling examples of our functionality, since they're stripped down to show key concepts.

Given this description, is this what you were expecting a Functional Example to provide you with? If not, any suggestions for alternative names?
