Glossary
The glossary is arranged in alphabetical order. Sections and whom they are relevant are not marked, as it is assumed this will be used primarily as a reference when an unfamiliar term is mentioned elsewhere.
BZ - BZ is often used as a short form to refer to the openFIRST project's Bugzilla Site (http://bugzilla.openfirst.org).
module - when referring to the distributed modules (as in the modules produced by the openFIRST project), a module is a component of a complete site. People can pick and choose which modules to install from a wide selection (eg, a guestbook, a members area, etc.).
