Clusters are for fruit. —Stephen Ewen (Talk) 15:05, 26 July 2007 (CDT)
- Yeah, that's actually what I like about cluster. It's a familiar word to describe a close grouping of related items (like grapes on a vine). Collection is okay; it's got the library and museum precedent, but maybe that's why it sounds too generic--like a non-decision. Infoset is fine conceptually, but for some reason it sounds like a product. When I say "infoset" I imagine those color-coded SRA reading labs we had in elementary school in the 1970s. My least favorite is notebook. To me it implies something more personal and informal, like a page where an individual Citizen (or end-user) could collect favorite articles with annotations and such.
