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.
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!
