Jargon Buster on website

[Tammy Fox]

FYI,

A Jargon Buster document has been posted to the website.

http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/jargon-buster/

It attempts to define some of the terms used on this and other mailing
lists.

Cheers,
Tammy

Excellent, well done. Thank you. One request: more URLs for programs,
please. E.g: http://www.memtest86.com/

You might refer readers to the Linux Dictionary,

Tammy,

I took a quick look...one thing that I noticed is that the XFS 
filesystem is listed...but xfs, the X font server isn't.  Given the 
potential for confusion, a clarification might be in order, perhaps with 
a separate entry for xfs.

That's great, thanks. One small confusion: you click on the link and 
what you see is the revision history of the document rather than the 
body of the document itself, and you have to click "Next" to actually 
see the glossary. Is there any possibility to swap the two pages, or 
point the link on the left directly to the second page, or something. I 
think some people might get confused.

But by in large, very helpful!
