I'm a little confused here..

is webparts == scriptlets == a sniplet of html code block?

is conlib == usercontrols == a self contained .net object?

if my understanding is correct, what's the reason behind having 2 sets of directory structure and naming convention?

Thanks!

There was actually a bug report on this issue that was just completed.

Over the course of development we worked with several different methods for editing store pages. We ended up with controls in places they should not have been.

The "webparts" and "usercontrols" directories are removed. The controls in those folders were moved to more appropriate locations. So now:

Scriptlets = snippet of html code (that can also use nVelocity script and include user controls)

ConLib = the .net ascx user controls that are generally called from scriptlets
