I like the idea. And I like the idea of how it can grow by explicit entries. Maybe that can even be inferred; we can ask the NSA what people were looking for and what they found. Uh, wait, I mean maybe all it takes is a click on a dictionary page that says, this is what I have been recently looking for.
Another idea is to find a an associative list some place. Even with print indexes of some other century, I thought entries should include more than just product jargon, but also common words and even competitors' jargon. I think it would be nice to have this and structured browsing. Climbing into a tree of categories with only ten things listed near the leaves might help.
