Terminology

Asked by Larry Short on 2011-09-13

Terminology in English is odd. Archive to most N. America means older or retired. Homebank archives are recurring or future.
Wallet doesn't convey any banking idea; how about account colllection or group or set?
If you look at questions asked probably 1 in 5 is tripped up by the strange terminology.

I must admit, I agree with you. Perhaps we can work out something that would better describe what they do?

I would change archive to future. It' future transaction(s) or notes.
I would change wallet to set or group or bunch or collection, it's a set of accounts.
Hopefully this is a minor change in programming for labels, and find & peplace word processing in the manual.

The other term that is strange but OK is validated. Usually it's cleared. I note several questions confused on reconcile or validate.
So, in summary I suggest set of accounts for wallet, future for archive, and cleared for validated. Anyone have better words?
