What form should the acronym dictionary take?

Something has "bumped" in the night!

I think we should have a "complete dictionary available" (with short definitions?) and then the main one will be short and to the point with only what is used around here, maybe must be used at least 5 times in the forums.

EDIT: Wasn't done when i posted, oops

Hmmmmmmmm

That's an idea...

A short dictionary of acronyms in common usage

followed by

A dictionary of all the acronyms.

Difficult to do in a spreadsheet.

However, we can easily do this:

A short dictionary of acronyms in common usage

followed by

A large dictionary of acronyms not in common usage.

So, if a person can't find it in the first dictionary, he looks at the second one.

Why not make it part of that Wikki hyperlink thing? Then you can have a section for "common acronyms" and a section for "uncommon acronyms" and an alphabetical listing and this and that...
