Thanks for the effort, but I'm an application server architect myself so I do 
understand the things that zPatterns tries to solve.

It's not about understanding, my issue with zPatterns is that for every thing 
in the whole product, a new name has been made up. It sounds extremely 
interesting of course, and one could probably get a lot of VC capital out of 
it ;), but for daily work it's just too cumbersome.

So what I'd like is that a "Rack" is called a "StorageContainer" (or 
whatever), a "Skin" might better be called an "Aspect", etcetera. As far as I 
can see, there's nothing really new in terms of "computer science new" in 
zPatterns, so it should be possible to find plain terms for all the various 
components. Until then, I think I'll stay away from it - rather have a more 
basic application that I can understand than something I need a dictionary for 
to translate. I rather build quality software than be hip, but then I'm 
quickly getting to be an old hat in this business...
