What is inaccurate?

Various screenshots and some content are no longer accurate to the current webapp UI.

I haven't looked through everything but "Endpoints" has moved under "Console". The difference is between v4 and v5 endpoints. v4 are under "Collections", v5 are under "Console -> Endpoints".

There may be other changes that need to be made.

Where is the inaccuracy?

After some discussion today, it seems that we have distinguished between two concepts Globus uses to represent servers and data:

  1. Collections - a subset of the data hosted on an endpoint
  2. Endpoints - a server hosting data, presented as collections

Almost all researchers only need to know about collections. They will search for and move data from one collection to another. Very few researchers will need to know about endpoints.

Let's change the language used in the entire Globus section to reflect this, by more carefully using the two concepts. Most instances of the word "endpoint" could probably be replaced by "collection".
