I was going to suggest that myself, so it's not surprising I think it's a great
|
|
idea. Of course, it's an old idea - the IEEE has had a glossary of technical
|
|
terms to be used in their standards for years. Just because they've done it is no
|
|
reason not to do it. Linux has a pot load of jargon, and a glossary could serve
|
|
the triple duty of educating LDP authors to what things are called, letting
|
|
authors refer to the glossary so readers can find a definition of jargon, and
|
|
providing readers with URLs to get to HOWTOs that really explain a term. The
|
|
glossary should provide an immediate definition, but some things need a lot more.

|
|
|
|
I don't think stigmatizing some LDP authors as "offenders" is very positive. I
|
|
think, however, that certain authors may appreciate a collaborator, and as soon
|
|
as we can get a good example, we could have a list of LDP authors looking for
|
|
collaborators.
|
|
|
|
>(I'm new to the list, so forgive me if I'm spouting nonsense or, worse,
|
|
repeating things that have already been said :-)
|
|
|
|
I don't think it was nonsense, and it needed to be said.
