[Typo3-doc] question about the glossary

Hi,

Not a problem, but something to think about.
But the transfer script is just a little part of all this work! 
We still do not know how the Glossary extension will work - and 
that´s the important thing!

But until we know - lets complete the definitions!

Please, could we first decide who is coordinating/leading the 
work with the Glossary! The typo3.org project page says:
   Dan Frost (project leader)
   René Fritz
   Andreas Otto

But right now I am the one trying too keep an eye on the 
Glossary wiki page, "transfer" definitions into the database, 
encourage people to write definitions and be involved in most of 
the glossary discussions. But I am not even a member of the 
glossary team...  :-)

*But* I don´t care about beeing a part of the team - I only want 
to know who is in charge of the Glossary work!

I see we are starting discussions where people have different 
opinions. That is great! But we risk ending up in discussions 
that never ends...

Read this tread:

And if you can figure out what persons are involved (or *should* 
be involved) it would be great! I am just confused... :-(

Yes, but I do this work only for myself right now.
I have learned my lesson - if I do something in this (or any?) 
community without having *all* peoples acknowledge or having ok 
and support from a team leader (that really acts like one) - 
then your work could be useless within a few seconds!

And yes, I have a problem with that. So until I am very certain 
about who is in charge, I do only work that I benefit from.

(BTW, I participate more in the documentation work now, because 
I think we *have* a leader! And that feels good.)
