UX Content Glossary Collaboration Documentation

This wiki aims to describe everything you need to know about the glossary project. (A-hem! Usable wiki docs can be a challenge to construct, especially when navigation features are limited, as they are here. If you have suggestions for improvement, start a new issue with title prefix, "wikidocs: ..." and let it rip. Or, raise your hand to help edit docs to perfection.)
