Just as a clarification, I think that this terminology is used because the designers/developers coined it, rather than the users. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeMenu In Ubuntu's help, it is occasionally referred to using that name with a hyperlink to an explanation of the menus and their names (e.g. https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/ubuntu-help/net-chat-social.html). But I don't think that the Ubuntu documentation team evolved a fixed policy for this type of thing. We had a discussion similar to this one in relation to the so-called "Session Menu" (https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-doc/2011-April/015640.html) although I don't think a conclusion was reached or a decision taken. -- Matthew East http://www.mdke.org gnupg pub 1024D/0E6B06FF _______________________________________________ gnome-doc-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-doc-list
