Thread:Talk:LiquidThreads/Redesign/"Discussion" versus "Topic" versus "Thread"

I think most everyone is agreed that the word "Thread" is not as user-friendly as we would like. To that end, I've been standardizing on "Discussion". However, there are some places where that word becomes awkward (at least in English). I have thus been thinking about using the word "Topic" as well, though I'm not keen on using both terms simultaneously.

Right now, I'm leaning towards having it be a "Discussion Page" that contains multiple "Topics", which are comprised of a single "Summary" and n+ "Posts":


 * Page
 * Discussion Page
 * Topics (n+)
 * Summary (0-1)
 * Posts (n+)

The big value here is readability of buttons and actions ("New Topic", "Drag Post", etc.).

Does anyone have any thoughts?
