Might a glossary of Newtonisms be useful?

For me, when I first started, I came from a Wintel background so I was
firmly fixed in the files and documents metaphor for data. But on
discovering the Newton I was immediately confronted with "packages", "soups"
and "extensions". "What the [put in your own word] is that?"

I'm sure that the wiki could be modified to include a glossary section.

The information was all there right in

totally overwhelming. Now, after several weeks of paying my learning
curve dues I get it.
