Re: name of the ontolex model

Dear all,

  I feel that we are reaching a consensus on the naming, that's good. I 
propose we let the discussion settle a bit and we take up the point in a 
few weeks.

We will have a poll in the near future.

Let's start with the work on the modules!

Regards,

Philipp.
