Placing glossary at the document start could make a new reader feel unwelcome #159

Closed pmjordan closed 4 weeks ago

pmjordan commented 10 months ago

I was trying to read the csd6 as a new reader. The first item I come across is a glossary containg a number of similar, interrelated terms with no context. This may have the effect of making the document more complex than necessary. I suggest moving the glossary to the end of the overview section.

What I would prefer to do instead is to beef up the metamodel section of the document. That section should clearly define the terms that are currently in the glossary. We may no longer need the glossary section if we have a strong metamodel section.

Fine, I just want to ensure the reader gets a gentle introduction.
