[Typo3-doc] question about the glossary

[Sylvain Viart]

Hi,

It seems that our problem, with the glossary is now how to transfer it 
into the DB ? right ?

I read *all* the mail posted in the T3-Doc list, in fact. And try to 
reply as fast as possible. ;-)

So Mark, welcome to the DocTEAM. Please send me by private mail, your 
TYPO3 user for:
- Wiki       http://wiki.typo3.org/
- BugTracker http://bugs.typo3.org/
- typo3.org  http://typo3.org/

As you seem interested to help with the Glossary I would like to assign 
you some task related to the Glossary.

Peter and Mark could you exchange your knowledge about the Glossary 
Extension, Database scheme, maintainer, etc. And write a Wiki page about 
that. So I will have all to help you writing importer script and to 
contact maintainer to synchronize our work.

Are you OK, with that ?

I could help you to write some transfer script. It's one of my main 
skill in fact: parsing and regular expression. ;-)

Peter, you have posted the request about filling the Glossary, right ?

a) write down the collected information about the Glossary and DB scheme 
in a wiki page, I will help you with the transferring process.
