Rename default publication to example publication or something else?

Hi Lenya devs,

IMO the description "default publication" isn't
appropriate anymore, 
because it's really just a demo of some of the modules with
a particular 
layout. In 1.2 it was different because we had no modules
and a lot of 
the functionality was located in the publication.

I could imagine that demo visitors would find it less
misleading if it 
was called "example publication". WDYT?

i've always felt that "default" was kinda wrong,
because people should
generally not use it as a template imho, because it contains
too many
assumptions. "example" sounds good.
privately, i'm using a stripped down "basic"
publication which i use as
a template - i'm going to commit it to the sandbox after
some polishing,
maybe others find it useful.

Maybe someday it would be nice to have more than one
example
publication, each demonstrating a different sort of site.

there's certainly no harm in that. the only problem i see is
that people
tend to do inelegant, hackish things in real-life
deployments that might
not be good examples and could become a legacy
eventually...

in any case we should clean up the example publication (no
more tables
etc. - or is that already done?), and expose more features.

would you guys be ok with a very rudimentary
"basic" publication that
contains only the bare minimum of lenya features with only
the fully
modularized, best-practice features (which currently
excludes bxe and
kupu), and base the example publication on that (adding
bxe/kupu hacks
locally)?
