speaking of which it would be useful to:

- include a glossary app on the IGC website, that could include not only translations of acronyms but also capacity raising xrefs* to the fundamental explanatory docs

- to include a reference to that glossary in the coda* that is added on to all list messages

- and super cool to have a grammar and app, that would pick out the glossary additions that message writers added to the bottom of their messages and automatically add them to the glossary.  These would probably need to be moderated otherwise some prankster might become merry.

* xrefs  - cross references used in HTML to allow one to follow a thread
* coda - the ending text of all IGC mailing list messages.  Ie.
