Create a glossary

Open ct-martin opened this issue 7 years ago • 1 comments

The terminology used by TigerOS is not small, and some words have started to have multiple meanings (namely "mirror" for both the GitLab repo mirrors and the package/ISO mirror). Additionally, there are a number of terms (such as "LMC/Live Media Creator," "Lorax," "kickstart," and "Anaconda") that would be unfamiliar to new contributors unless they've worked with the Fedora ISO-building tools before.

Creating a glossary would help create a uniform terminology and help with onboarding new users.

@RITlug/tigeros-team - what words/phrases would you like to see added? Here's my list so far:

Anaconda
Fedora
Kickstart
LMC/Live Media Creator
Lorax
Mirror (GitLab repo; as in GitLab CI/CD for external repositories)
Mirror (Package mirror; mirrors.ritlug.com)
Remix (as in Fedora Remix)
RPM
RPMfusion
Spec file
