A more Generic JR5
Using Jamroom
A big post. Thanks for bringing it up. These are just my immediate thoughts, and not necessarily those of the rest of the team.
I think that its very rare for Jamroom to be just what a user wants, 'out of the box', and everyone will need/want to make modifications to the templates, small or large. Its also impossible for us to design a 'one size fits all' Jamroom.
I sympathise with what you are saying, but unless I'm misunderstanding you (and I will admit to not having read all your archived JR4 posts), what I believe you are trying to do is is relatively straightforward, but there again, I'm very familiar with JR5 and have been coding it for the past year. When you say that you are not a coder, I do understand that it can seem a daunting task.
As for more generic module names, I'm not sure what else we could do. Audio is what the module handles. We didn't call it the jrSong module. And we have a Profile module, not an Artist module.
There is one trick that may not have been mentioned - You can easily changed the module name that shows in the URL. From the ACP goto the Info tab of the jrAudio module. There's a field there for Module URL that says 'audio'. Change that to 'conference', say. Assuming that we have coded all the templates correctly, the word 'conference' will show in the URLs instead of 'audio'. Will that help?
Sorry, no immediate answers, but we do apprecriate your post. Hopefully others will add to this discussion.
