Fluid community naming of products and projects

[Laurel A. Williams]

Hi Jess,

As a relative newcomer to the project, I like the way you've named these 
so that I can get a sense of the relationships between fluid and various 
projects/products. This naming system works for me, but as a newby I'm 
not sure how it relates to "reality" and would like to hear feedback 
from the people who've been on the project for longer. For now I'm going 
to make sure that the dev website uses these names.
