G'day one and all,

An idea from Derek, now that a few cool terms and jargon are being bandied
about in scenarios, AARs etc (e.g. transit point, initial point, jump
frontier etc for FT as well as the multitude of DS/SG ones I'm not aware
of) is anybody keeping track of them in a glossary kind of sense? It may be a
handy addition to the websites, the 'pedia etc, or as a filler in a future GZG
release.

Cheers

Beth

I started to do a glossary on my science fiction web site. Admittedly, I have
done a poor job of it (not updated for a year), but with people sending me
stuff, I may get more motivated.

If you do start sending terms to me, please send it to the address below (the
one that I am writing from is at work).

The FT FAQ has a few for FT acronyms - but its a good idea to
expand it to cover jargon too.
