[Mapbender-dev] Motion to change terminology: 'Application'instead of 'GUI'

[Christoph Baudson]

There hasn't been any mail on this topic for three weeks. Are we ready 
to replace "GUI" by "application"? Is there a need for discussion? We 
have the following votes

4x +1
1x +0

Do we consider the motion accepted?
