I have started working on an ambitious but important project called Bitcoin Dictionary - http://bitcoindictionary.org.

The problem I am try to solve is that we still don't have a credible source of definitions for Bitcoin-related words. Also, with the Bitcoin-related startups/projects/technologies that are coming up, we have new words being coined every day but we don't have a single place we can go to to find standard definitions of these words.

I know that I'm not the first one to identify this problem and I have only just noticed that it was discussed on this website here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=133832.0. I'm writting to get ideas, feedback and contributions from those who can provide definitions and revisions of the definitions I have put there so far.

Cool project, and nice url  Smiley
Maybe you can collaborate with current techrelated or other non-crypto fora, for instance to provide them with a mouse-over plugin for info regarding a term. This should also allow novices to understand conversations faster and increase adoption. (If that's what you're aiming for.)

Will contribute some terms we use in our projects when I have some spare time.

You should include an index or some kind of navigation on the main page.

An economy based on endless growth is unsustainable.
