I was thinking a sticky thread glossary of terminology would be nice, maybe in End User Guides?
It does seem like a lot is already explained in threads like "Fast Tracking my BAM/FP comprehension" and George's and others guides, but I reckon a quick-lookup glossary would be nice as a handy resource on its own.
Does something like that already exist, or already exist in a form that's very close?
For example: "shadow maps" (and not "Shadowfax," Gandalf's legendary steed) has come up a couple times for me recently, and I'm still pretty confused about what that means, exactly. It might even have been patiently explained to me at some point in the past, but given how little I work with FP, I might have forgotten entirely. That's a big point, here. But if there was a glossary handy, then I could keep going back to that until the concept finally stuck en mi cabeza.
For an extra level of hilarity and humiliation, I suppose I could try to comb through past comments and slowly write the glossary myself, relying on you all to correct my errors. Meh, either way.
