The history,

Magma seaside was originally developed by Brent I think, I added a
number of things to it later on.

Magma seasideHelper is a new version of 'Magma seaside' framework
incorporating many things learnt from using magma on projects.
 It includes all of the features that were in Magma seaside and more
besides.

Since there are already projects using Magma seaside I felt that it
needed a new name to distinguish it. Also it will be up to Chris to
update universes
