Glossary wiki

There has been a lot of discussion of a glossary. What terms would need to be in a glossary? Please list them below.

Glossary of terms for X-Carve

Gantry
Homing
Homing Switches
Work Zero
Machine Zero
machine screw
end mill

Glossary of terms for Easel

Stacked Text
Lock/Unlock Button
Carve Button - definition needs to clearly state pressing the button will NOT immediately start the carve - very confusing the first time user.

Maybe the thing to do is to grow it organically. The glossary starts empty, and words get added as people ask questions in either of two ways:

  1. What is a Drag Chain?
  2. What is the name of that black plastic thingy the wires run through?
