OK, Folks, we need to set up a glossary for this site

How you can help: 

1.  Find links to other glossaries out there.  While constructing our own, we should provide links to info already available.

2.  Ponder why we need our own glossary with so many great glossaries out there already.  We may just stop here and leave links to these other glossaries.  Or we may go further:

3.  Realize we want to comment on the words or otherwise interact with them, and so need them on our own site.

4.  Decide what fields to include in our glossary.  “fields” such as “term”, “description”, “image” and so forth. 

Anyway, step one would be nice.  I can just put links up there for now.  Help!
