I am excited to announce I’ve finally managed to complete a ready for prime time version of the \*\*Glossary of Solid Core Concepts, Terms & Abbreviations\*\*, now available at [https://solidproject.solidcommunity.net/glossary](https://solidproject.solidcommunity.net/glossary). It is aimed at supporting onboarding of new members into the community and is a work in progress, so please send in suggested changes and additions. I’d be especially interested to hear from newcomers as to whether it is written at an understandable level. Leave comments here in this forum or in the [repo]( [GitHub - solid-contrib/glossary: A beginner's glossary for Solid](https://github.com/solid-contrib/glossary) ), or catch me in the matrix chatrooms as @jeff-zucker:matrix.org. ---

I am new to Solid. I have a technical background (web/software developer) but just starting my journey on learning about Solid. I opened the link on my phone. The glossary is really useful as someone new. My only feedback is it would be good if it was responsive. Pinch and zoom is a bit awkward when reading it on my phone. ---

Thanks so much for the feedback. Working on the responsiveness now and will post here when it’s ready to check. ---
