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 a gripe or suggestion about docs or collaborative processes described, start a new Issue to share your thoughts. We welcome it.)
