New Feature

jeremy · 05-14-2002, 08:15 AM

The newest feature of LinuxQuestions.org is ready to be released. We now have a LinuxQuestions.org glossary. It is still very much a work in progress and does not contain many terms yet, but it will grow. It will contain Linux commands, definitions and most importantly real world examples. If you would like to contribute to the glossary feel free to email me your entry for now. Also feel free to post suggestions, feedback, etc here. Thanks.

That's a really cool idea!! Great job.

Great! This is what we need :-)

Will it be comprising some of the more common terms from the New Hackers Dictionary, or is it going to have things like common commands to use, what they do and why you should use them?

If you want to contribute and add a term, just submit it to Jeremy and it will be reviewed/added if its suitable.

Anything you feel will be helpful to others viewing it will be most likely accepted. But yeah, mostly consisting of commands, definitions.. etc...

If you see a term already in use and who it was submitted by and want to add to it, email them or Jeremy. But I would email the submitter so it keeps a load off of Jeremy.

This is a great idea Jeremy. Can we have something like Hacking guide ? Or is it too dangerous?

Good Job. We liked it. How can we contribute more to it. Let us know. We could also add some more commands and examples of real life to add to that command.

The text in "glossary" icon is higher than in the other ones. It's not a big thing, but in 640x480 it does not look good.
