Hi Everybody

I am an 86-year-old long time user of Debian GNU/Linux (at least 20 years). And I subscribe to the debian-project mailing list as well as a couple of other debian mailing lists. I sometimes have problems understanding abbreviations and acronymns used on

these lists and occasionally in package documentation.

While reading this thread I could not understand the "NM" acronymn (and some other abbreviations as well). I finally found out NM's meaning by looking at https://www.debian.org/sitemap and reading "Debian New Members Corner".

It would be helpful if Debian would create (and keep up-to-date) a web page of acronymns and abbreviations used by Debian literati. Or is there already such a one, but not listed on the site map?

Regards

Something like this is available on the wiki:

There is one in the wiki - https://wiki.debian.org/Glossary
