Both https://github.com/drupaldiversity/administration/issues/57 and #44 appear pertinent.
I think content like that's might be best under the resources section of the website?
Wondering whether we recreate the content, refer to sources, or both.
Two source examples:
If we found sources we trusted, there's value in acknowledging and supporting their work. Reason to create our own glossary would be if we had a unique way to present the same content on our platform. But maybe our middle ground: We create a short list of the terms we think we use most often, but acknowledge there's a much wider discourse (refer to sources).
Oh, and no matter what we choose, what do we think about creating a glossary bot for Slack (e.g., https://github.com/codeforamerica/glossary-bot)?
During today's DD&I meeting it was mentioned that some people have difficulty with some of the terminology used, so this is of particular importance for the group.
Perhaps we can scan for a list of words we use in the channel often, write our own definitions prominently so they are visible, and provide external resources for other words.
Initial list to call out big in a glossary:
What else in particular do we use frequently?
Since we are moving to drupal.org #145 @AlannaBurke would you like to copy this issue over and close this one? Thank you!
Often we use terms, shortcuts, etc, that people who are not familiar to the space don't understand - let's create a glossary in the wiki to keep these terms as we think of them or as they come up, so that we can be more inclusive of newcomers to the diversity & inclusion space. Feel free to edit the page or add suggestions here.
Also, I just realized that the administration repo wiki may not be the best place for this kind of info - I'd love to create and maintain a wiki of public resources like this, but I'm not sure which repo it should go in, or if we should create a new one for this purpose. I don't think either option would be a barrier for entry, and a simple "resources" wiki may be useful in general. Thoughts?
