Makes sense. DJ has told me he's gonna allow limited access (Holocron profile) for certain staff members to do just that.

yeah, it should be. we could just have every section head update himself and than let an editor look at it. shouldnt take more than one day per section.

If not, no big deal. Updating the Holocron is gonna happen on a pretty frequent basis, I would expect.

yes I agree. people sometimes really have no idea what teachers are talking about, even in beginner classes. ydfa, rdfa, lunge, it should all be in it.

Well, phooey. I don't know what to do about this. I have some people saying one thing, and others saying another. I personally would like a glossery just for JA that includes YDFA and other common terms, but that seems redundant. See comments on this below.

I suggest opening this out to the wider JA audience and asking them what they would like to see. I'll do this right now.

Ruuk, what about the people that start playing JK2 in the Academy? I heard about this place from friends and started playing JK2 here for the first time :) I had *no* idea what a yDFA or rDFA was...

I'm gonna make one last comment on this (yeah, right, Ruuk - when do you ever shut up?) ;)

When I got in here, there was all this stuff flying around...and I had no idea what it meant. It took me awhile to figure it all out. No big deal, but I did feel kinda out of the loop for a while. Some sort of dictionary would be kinda helpful (to people like me). Those links would be acceptible to me (personally) as long as they cover what we're gonna hear in JA. If YDFA is a common term used throughout the JK2 community (which I would assume it is) then there is no need to include it...a waste of time. 1337 is probably another one. If there are terms in here that are JA-specific, then it would be helpful to include them somewhere.

Cyb- _IF_ you want to do this, I'd recommend following MoS's example and posting in the Academy Discussion Forum for other peep's suggestions. Heck, before you start, why don't you post a question asking if people think this is even necessary?

That might answer the question for all of us. :)

I think it can be useful Cyb. Espcially the Academy related stuff like JAT, JAS, JAC, yDFA, rDFA etc.

Hmm... well should I do it or not?
Maybe I can pick the most important from the links I gave, add some JA terms like for example euh euh hmm... what were you think of? eg JAT=jedi academy teacher or Matrix=room inside of the JA map?
I could also add some JK2 only things like GF=good figth and ydfa=yellow death from above...
But on the other hand you said it doesnt have to do with JK2 really and I dont wanna waste my time ;)

Hey, doobie. Glad to see yer browsing through our forum here. Sorry, didn't mean to offend! :D

Halendor has tentatively taken on question #4. Anyone up for #5? Cyb, you wanna gather some JA-only terms to include with your 2 links?
