Don't worry, it's already planned to be part of my auto-biography!

More seriously, the level of knowledge of newcomers is different for
each of them, so it's not that easy to make a list of the words that
need to be explained... and ppl are lazy to write docs (me included),
and tend to think that google is good enough to explain "basic" terms
provided that you ask google politely...

Anyway, if you want to start a glossary, it's fine with me, but I feel
too lazy to contribute to it right now.
