Folks,
To me, allowing the entire LC user base to modify the dictionary that we all 
use, will cause more problems than it solves. Richard's idea to form a team of 
experienced live coders to at least review additions and changes and brainstorm 
improvements is a great idea. Also, a feature that allows users to make private 
notes is also a great one. Perhaps, taking it a bit further, users' private 
notes might contain a button to submit them to the dictionary committee for 
review and inclusion in the master dictionary.

An important goal, I think, is to consider feedback from both experienced and 
relatively new users who perhaps use a different vocabulary for their desired 
outcome and can't find their way around the huge number of commands and 
intricacies.

This list also contains a wealth of questions that the documentation team might 
address. The challenge is to try to get into the mindset of those who are, in 
real time, trying to solve coding problems. 

Best,
Bill
