Suggestion to change "network" to "implementation"

Hi all,

     Aurium is doing a very interesting organization in the FOSWIKI to 
show the existing implementations of Noosfero. Thanks :-)

     I'd like to suggest that we change the name "Network" to refer to a 
Noosfero implementation. My suggestion is that it could be changed to 
"Implementation" or "NoosferoImplementation".

     Two arguments:

1. "Network" is usually a kind of real organization. So we can not say 
for example that "cirandas is a network of solidarity economy", since 
it's a tool owned by FBES, which is by itself a real network of 
solidarity economy. So this can lead to political confusions.

2. We are implementing since some years a new profile type that will be 
available to Noosfero, besides "Person", "Enterprise" and "Community": 
We are finalizing the plugin that will add the profile "Network" or 
"EnterprisesNetwork", so calling an implementation from Noosfero as a 
Network can lead to confusions. For example.

     I'd really apreciate if we could do this change.

         Thank you,

                daniel
