Documentation.

Regarding Scribing APIs, some notes that might help (hopefully). While these rules may not be completely universally followed, we did our best to ensure they were (and again, I'm specifically referring to the code):

Scribe/Scribing - Refers to either the system, the station, the act of crafting, or the final product (scribed skills)
CraftedAbility - Code word for "Grimoire"
CraftedAbilityScript - Code word for "Script"
Ink/ScribingInk - Code word for "Luminous Ink"
You unlock CraftedAbility's and CraftedAbilityScript's (much like recipes/motifs), and you Scribe them together at the Scribing Altar spending Ink to create Scribed Skills/Abilities that you put on your bar via the Skills Menu.

There's a lot to the APIs and it's a bit of a rats nest, but hopefully those rules of thumb will help in navigating the names. Note that, to the best of our ability, the word CraftedAbility in the code does not refer to the final product. It refers to the Grimoire.

Another note: some more fixes/improvements came in for Guild History, and even more are on the way. We're continuing to work with Sirinsidiator and Sharlikran and fixing all the issues that crop up as fast as we can reproduce and identify them, and to make modifications based on feedback from LibHistorie and MM. We'll keep plugging away at it until it's rock solid.

Hey Dan, are there more changes still to come around the Battleground Alliance -> Battleground Team nomenclature change? I know there were some other functions (like GetBattlegroundAllianceColor) that were missed in this pass

What is the difference?

* IsZoneStoryTracked()
* IsZoneStoryAssisted()

[ZOS_DanBatson]

* IsZoneStoryTracked() - You are following it and it'll show up on your map, but it's not the one that shows up in the HUD Quest Tracker and it doesn't superscede the assisted quest
* IsZoneStoryAssisted() - It's the primary thing, so it's what you see in the HUD and it supersceded assisted quests.

Basically, instead of Zone Story being all or nothing you're either doing this or you're doing quests, it's now treated like it's part of the "Press T to cycle your quest" rotation while you're tracking it, like any other tracked quest is.
