JavaScript and Cujo.js in particular have a lot of jargon that is difficult for beginners to grok.

I propose we create a glossaries directory with domain specific files that contain terms with precise but approachable definitions. Links to a spec can provide the gory details where appropriate.

Off the top of my head, we could have a glossary for each of:

  • promisses
  • modules
  • dependency injection
  • rest
  • javascript
  • ...

+1 and may want to extend that to cujo-specific terms, like wire's "facets". Even though they are documented in wire's docs, might be nice to include them in the jargon glossary.

@briancavalier yea, this is one area where project specific material makes sense. 'scope', 'context', 'component' all overloaded terms that have specific meaning in wire.
