Documentation confusion - start or startup

In http://www.perceptiveautomation.com/wiki/doku.php?id=indigo_6_documentation:plugin_guide#plugin.py is the start method definition start or startup?

Both start and startup are referenced in the startup method and in the runConcurrentThread method - "This method is called in a newly created thread after the Start method finishes executing."

So, which is it? I'm leaning towards startup as that is listed in the method definition column.

Clarification?

Re: Documentation confusion - start or startup

LOL - great catch, it's been there since we were building the API in version 5. We changed it from start() to startup() during development but apparently we missed a couple of places in the docs. I've fixed a couple I found but if you find any more let me know. startup(self) is the correct method signature.
