[OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] Help requested: updating terminology in the docs

Thu Mar 7 10:24:18 EST 2019

Okay...

I've added email reminders, coming to this list 7 days and 1 day ahead of each meeting.  We'll see if it works, and if it helps us meet!

We've often relied on these for linking to specific sections/pages throughout the docs, and obviously changing a URL would break any bookmarks or external links to that page.
