Retitle "Reading" link for communities

Title:
Retitle "Reading" link for communities

Area:
Style System

Summary:
Communities also have a "Reading" link on their layouts - rename that to "Members" or something else that makes sense for communities.

Description:
Every community also has a page that displays the public posts its members (not subscribers) have made: http://examplecomm.dreamwidth.org/read. The link to that is by default also called "Reading", like it is on personal journal. I propose renaming this to something that makes a bit more sense for communities, but it probably needs to be short so as to not break layouts, for example "Members".

If I saw a link called "Members", I would expect it to give me a list of members so while I like this idea, I think the term "Members" instead of "Reading" would be problematic.

Hmm. I see your point, but what would be a good name for this? Reading is inaccurate too, since the community isn't reading them.

+1, or Member Journals or Member Posts.

"Reading" is just as counter-intuitive, though. It's what the community members are writing, not what they're reading. It might take a new user a little while to figure out that they're readin an amalgamation of all of the members' journals, instead of journals that were somehow recommended by someone. Which is what individuals' reading lists are.

I think "Members," while unwieldy, is unwieldy in the same way as "Reading" here, and is probably closer to accurate.
