Comment 10 for bug 1282219

We asked on the forums and no one really had any useful suggestions there. Well, they had useful suggestions, but those suggestions were around the idea of replacing the current system of HTML fields with one where sitepages/generalpages/staticpages are full-on Portfolio Pages with blocks and everything. And while that would be a good idea in the long run, it's not doable right now before 1.9.0 and it didn't help us come up with a better name.

So I've pushed a patch to rename these from "general pages" to "static pages". One of my pet peeves with Moodle administration is that it is full of names for things that don't tell you anything about how those things are different from each other. For instance, groups, groupings, and cohorts. All basically synonyms, and thus the names are not self-documenting in the least.

Since Mahara already has usability issues, I'd like to try to make it so that when we rename Mahara features, we give them names that make it self-evident to the user, how these features are different from each other. To that end, "static pages" is better than "general pages" when it comes to differentiating these from normal portfolio Pages.
