What form should the acronym dictionary take?
We have come to a crossroads of sorts:
The issue is whether we want
1) a very usable acronym dictionary comprised of only commonly used acronyms.
2) a complete list of acronyms, some useful and some not.
The distinction is important, because, #1 will be smaller and therefore the acronym will be more easily accessable.
If we select #2, it will "legitimize" uncommon acronyms and some Users may use them forcing others to refer to the dictionary to find out what it means.
#2 is not necessarily a bad thing, but there may be some resentment if they are used without any reference to their origen, thereby forcing the reader to constantly refer to the dictionary until they become common.
So what form do you guys want the acronym dictionary to take?
1) include only the most commonly used acronyms. Delete acronyms not in common use such as MM's "TL = Large Troops, Hull"
2) The form it now has.
I've set a 2 week time limit, so the poll will close on Novemeber 8th
