Re: Replacing "master" and "slave" terminology

["Gene Kim-Eng" <techwr -at- genek -dot- com>]

I'm not sure how it's "good communication" if a reader
sees "master/contributor" and thinks the "contributor is
somehow sending data or materials to the "master" and
you end up having to explain that "contributor" actually
means "slave."
