0008814: Names should be clarified: Modules > Module > Package > Template
In my opinion, 2.50 has not a clear naming for Modularity stuff.
All the naming is centered on "Module" as the strongest entity: You have a Module window, an AD_Module table, a Module Management Console and so on.
But after a while, you realize that modules are just a part of the structure. You have also a "Package" and an "Industry Template". A Package is a set of modules (a package can contain packages as well) and a Template is a Package plus a configuration set.
The confusing part of it is that if you want to install a Package (remember, a set of modules) you have to perform the "Add a module" action. That is confusing. It would be more accurate to "Add a package" instead (even if the action is the same behind scenes)
Icons should be more consistent also. That strange green cube that looks like a Lego's piece is used most for Modules, but opening the details for one module you will see that other icon (like a Lego coming out of a box)
From an user perspective, moving to a "Module Management Console" and "Install a Module" to add a package can be confusing.
No tags attached.

Thanks for the feedback but I do not find this feature request to be actionable.
Rather than a feature request it looks like a constructive critique, which is very much appreciated but difficult to be acted upon as feature request.
I would suggest to post this comment in the User Experience forum to make sure that it is received.
