@benwerd Thankyou. Too many people live in their personal world of TLAs and their extensions and forget the other 99.9 percent.

The glossary idea I am a fan of, on one of my old blogs I tried to keep such a thing going, but it broke when I archived the site to words.philpin.com (the final resting place of all my public facing blogs from the last nearly 20 years).

That said, I recall @Dave had a system for handling a glossary .. maybe part of 1999, I can’t remember, but it was effective … and seemingly easy to implement, if you went all in on his approach.

I think this is something that @manton might consider for MicroBlog. There have been threads in here before about supporting ‘wiki style linking’, which I would also be a fan of. A special limited version of that just for supporting a glossary … double square brackets to take you to the glossary page for that word/phrase would be awesome.

Meanwhile, those definitions are hard to agree on across an industry. Think what Web3 meant 15 years ago and what it means today. I was talking to a company last year that worked in ‘Information Architecture’, they could barely agree amongst themselves what that truly mean … so heaven knows how people will take ‘Human Centered Design’ … I wish you well and look forward to reading some of your definitions … maybe you house them on a public facing wiki?
