[NFB-Web] Terminology shift

[darrell.shandrow at gmail.com]

Hello Everybody,

 

This is not ridiculous at all, and it is easy for us to change.

 

Instead of webmaster, we can talk about a web administrator or website
manager.

 

Instead of master and slave (for old IDE hardware, servers configured in
high-availability mode, etc.) we can use terms like primary and secondary.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Thanks,

 

Darrell

Hey all - there is a concerted effort in the technology community to retire
the use of certain terms that references an overlord/master superiority (or
terms with racial overtones).  So being a "webmaster" is no longer an
acceptable term or title.
