There is no glossary, but being a wiki, a volunteer could construct one.

Hi Again,
The OLPC wiki didn't come up on my google search for OFW. At least,
not on the first page. Is there a glossary on our wiki that links to
pages with definitions? If there isn't, there should be. A lot of
folks don't know the jargon.... yet!

OFW: http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/OFW (pick one out of 12!)
How about the OLPC wiki as a source? http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OFW
NTP: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Time_Protocol
ESSID: http://www.cryer.co.uk/glossary/e/essid.htm
RTC: Real Time Clock
