[Cesg-all] Review of DRAFT CCSDS Glossary / some initial emotional comments

[John Garrett]

Hi,

I don't believe that this was originally a Panel 2 project.  It did involve 
glossary entries from Panel 1 and Panel 3 books.
I believe it was originally a CCSDS Secretariat/CCSDS Editor function.
My recollection is that definitions from new standards would automatically be 
added to the CCSDS Glossary and it would periodically be published.

Actually what you might be thinking of is that when I was CCSDS web master, we 
had a P2 area and there was a P2 glossary page on it.  I maintained it the same 
way as the CCSDS glossary was maintained back then and how I would propose that 
the CCSDS registry should be maintained now.  Whenever a new standard is 
published, the definitions (and acronyms) that are included in the glossary of 
the standard should automatically be included in the CCSDS glossary.

Cheers,
-JOhn
