How often do you visit glossary site to check whether you use correct word, or not?(It means correct usage of words, not dictionary meaning.) well.. In my case, I use Sun gloss, MS IT glossary, and korean community glossary. But I visit these site very few times. because I had to visit one of these sites-some require to login-, and search the word. it's very inconvenient. So I tried to find a way to check words without my additional action.
and sharing glossary with other members is not the matter. The first reason is words of a glossary is not changed often. so there's no need to update in real-time. second is I said, "I choose wiki as the management system for glossary." You know wiki is a great collaborative system to compose and handle documents with other people. For it, I made some scripts. they doesn't look good, but work correctly. Conclusionly, what I want to say is.. no matter how to manage a glossary or how much words is in glossary, "can use easily is the best". In my point of view, many glossary systems are not. > To overcome such issue, Wiktionary is another way to share the glossary, > not only the OOo team benefits from Wiktionary, but all the Internet user. > I already said about this above and "sometimes it needs some specific glossaries. because some words have quite difference meaning in specific area." > 1.

Basically, my idea is just only for me. but I though it's very convinient! so I introduced to my team members and in here. that's all. If you don't like, forget it. and if you have more better idea, please tell me. thank you. :) -- 〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓 Choi, JiHui http://Mr-Dust.pe.kr http://GIMP.kr, http://OpenOffice.or.kr, http://Ubuntu.or.kr
