Sure. Maybe change "Stats collector" to say that it *receives* stats (not collects them). And maybe say "(if enabled)" or (unless disabled). > PS: I almost want to add a note to the startup process entry, something > like "(The name is historical: it refers to its task before the > introduction of replication, when it was only related to the server > starting up after a crash.)" I'd say "(The name is historical: the startup process was named before replication was implemented; the name refers to its task as it relates to the server startup following a crash.)" > PPS: Do we want the list to be in alphabetical order, or some other > order? I copied them out of the header file - but that may not matter nor make sense to someone reading the glossary. Cheers -- Justin
