1. I asked some newer database people to come up with a list of terms that
they used.
2. I then added some more terms that seemed obvious given that first list.
3. That combined list was long on general database concepts and theory, and
short on administration concepts
4. Then Jürgen suggested that we integrate his working list of terms, very
much focused on internals, so I did that.
5. Everything after that was applying suggested edits and new terms.

I don't think this list will ever be complete. It will always be a work in
progress. I'd prefer to get the general structure of a glossary committed
in the short term, and we're free to follow up with edits that focus on the
wording.

Just so I can prioritize my work, which of these things, along with your
suggestions in previous emails, would you say is a barrier to considering
this ready for a committer?
