Description

Including a glossary for the sigstore documentation is important for several reasons:

  • Clarification of terminology: Software development often involves a lot of technical jargon and industry-specific terms. By including a glossary, developers can clarify the meaning of these terms, reducing the risk of misunderstandings or confusion.

  • Consistency in terminology: In larger software projects, different team members may use different terminology for the same concepts, which can lead to confusion and inconsistencies in the codebase. By providing a glossary with agreed-upon definitions, everyone can use the same language, improving communication and understanding.

  • Easier onboarding of new team members: New developers joining a project may not be familiar with all the terminology and jargon used in the codebase. A glossary can help these team members quickly get up to speed and understand the key concepts and terminology.

  • Improved documentation organization: By organizing the documentation into sections and including a glossary, readers can more easily find the information they need, improving the overall usability and readability of the documentation.

Overall, including a glossary in sigstore documentation can help ensure clear and consistent communication, reduce confusion and errors, and make it easier for developers to understand and work with the codebase. The upshot of this is that
