> Hiya Rainer,

Hey. :-)

Sorry, I've been tied up all afternoon. (Just got the handcuffs... oh, never 
mind. ;-)

Just like there is the Sun Global Glossary, we take the glossary that is in the 
OSSG (full version) and, instead of adding it to the OpenSolaris Short Style 
Guide (OSSSG), we make it a second, stand-alone document. The glossary is 
important (vital?) and should stay in the OSSG (full), but we shouldn't expand 
the OSSSG with it if we can just use a pointer.

Yes, that looks like it. Did I not post the link on our Doc Links page? I meant 
to, sorry. :-(

Hmm, hadn't thought of it this simplistically. I had envisioned a document like 
the OSSG, but a lot more succinct. Maybe 30 pages max, preferably smaller. Your 
idea has some merit, though. It would be a lot easier for people to get started 
than what I had thought you originally meant by the Short Style Guide.

OK, I'll try to come up with some good includes. I'm actually hoping to get 
some decent computer work done this weekend (finally!).

First Do: Pay attention to proper word usage (see the OpenSolaris Glossary). 
This makes your document less confusing, especially to translators.

You are always most welcome. <bow>
