I created a glossary in the 2.x documentation the other day [1] --- I specifically needed to reference a couple of terms from within a README. Those two items now look a bit lonely, so I wondered if we could together to slowly build this up.
My thought is that each day someone proposes a term, be it related to the SCA specs, to tuscany user concepts or to the code structure. Ideally (but not necessarily) the proposer also supplies a candidate, description of the term, roughly tweet sized. Anyone can chip in with a refinement of the description, and at the end of the week say, I'd be happy to harvest the fruits of our labours and put them in the glossary. In thinking about this, I wasn't sure if it was something that was best suited to the user list or the dev list. I think at least for the moment it's best on the dev list and if it flies we could perhaps post digests of relevant terms to the user list. We could tag the term with tags like sca, tuscany, user, developer etc. Here's a starter, (a slight cheat as it's a précis from the website intor pages) ... binding: a binding provides a protocol specific means of communication between distributed elements of an SCA application. For example JMS, Webservices and Atom bindings. (tags: SCA, user) [1] http://tuscany.apache.org/documentation-2x/glossary.html
