Hi,

While I "sort off" understand your frustration you also have to
understand that OpenBD simply adopted the same terms that Amazon S3 is
using. In other words, if you look up the documentation of S3 then you
will see that they are talking about "key", "secret key", etc.

Seeing it in the light of Amazon S3 terms the OpenBD wiki docs make a
lot of sense.

But, yes, documentation needs improvement and any help is very much appreciated.

Kind Regards,
Nitai
