== 4. wiki maintenance ==
=== 4a. term/definition updates ===

content requests and offers (since Jul 06):
* TS has asked N.Guarino for definitions of
  ** Category, Class, Kind, Sortal, Type, Universal
  ** NB: R.Rovetto posted a similar question to [ontolog-forum]
* B.Smith has pointed to a glossary [1] of his group at Buffalo

[1] http://org.buffalo.edu/Gloss.html


question FL:
* should we use a prefix for term pages?
   e.g. "TL-", thus 'TL-Continuant' instead of 'Continuant'
  ** pros
   *** clear subset of pages for the termlist
   *** minimizing clash with pages for other purposes
       (but no particular case has occurred nor is conceived of)
  ** cons: more tedious cross-references during editing
