The bonus of lots of little pages is that they can grow into lots of bigger pages.

A glossary is still a good idea though - can link to all the little pages, and just have a small description designed to stay small.

Maybe CR's lexicon would be a good basis for it?

I think a glossary and CR's lexicon have different purposes. They both could go on the wiki of course, but it would be nice to differentiate commonly used terms from wordplay, lest the new folk become terribly overwhelmed.

[Eventually]

The wiki could use the GCA logo being attached to it. Can't think what it is called, but the little one that shows up in the address bar and on the tabs.

Thanks!

I suspected out-of-date Bogon filters for 59.0.0.0/8 IP addresses (so blocking anyone using Internode ADSL among others). Whatever the problem was, it is fixed now.

Commonly known in web developer circles as the favorites icon, or favicon. 'orrible name for a good idea.

Or in other words, the favicon request has been carried out.

Is it possible to have one page set up as a glossary rather than lots of little pages?
that way you could explain on the site that cache, geocache etc are one and the same on the one glossary of terms.
