I think the tricky thing about a glossary might be figuring out how to both make it accessible to new players and keep it up to date. There are a bunch of older glossaries that are neither up to date nor frequently linked to, so it seems like compiling the glossary is not the hardest part of making it available (though of course it is a fundamental part).
Here are the options I can think of off the top of my head:
-
This topic/thread. It’s already here, it’s easy for people to add to, and it’s searchable. It’s kind of an awkward format for a reference, though.
-
The subreddit wiki. It already has a terminology page, and in theory multiple people could contribute to it. In practice the existing page is a bit short and hasn’t been updated in quite a while, and I’m not sure who has edit access to the wiki or who controls it or how they prefer to manage it.
-
A Wikia wiki. ANCUR and the Android Universe Fan Wiki are already on Wikia, and it would be easy to allow many people to contribute. But it would be mostly under Wikia’s control, with limited wiki features and lots of ads.
-
GitHub and GitHub pages. This is what I chose for the beginner’s collection plan I created. This allows for lots of control, no ads, and multiple contributors, but it’s trickier to set up and some potential contributors might be turned off by having to learn to use GitHub.
-
Stimhack.com would be a great place to put a glossary, if the folks running it agreed, but that wouldn’t cover providing a way for people to contribute to the glossary. Maybe the glossary source could be maintained somewhere else, such as GitHub, and Stimhack could host a periodically-updated copy.
