Review the new Glossary Wikis page on the Confluence wiki

• Does it make sense?
• What changes should be made?
• What other glossary wiki documentation pages are needed?
• Who is able to volunteer for glossary wiki documentation?

Jumpstarting a glossary wiki from a Google doc glossary

• This is a suggestion Drummond has heard from several prospective glossary wiki authors now
• The basic idea is that, when first creating a glossary, it is much easier to do the "sausage making" inside a single shared document such as a Google doc
• A single doc makes it much faster to move around between terms, see how well definitions fit together, identify where new terms are needed, add cross-references, have discussions about terms, etc.
• The drafting of the Good Health Pass Glossary is a classic example
• Then the ideal design would be if the ToIP Term tool had a function where it could ingest a Google doc-based glossary into the CTWG corpus and optionally output a GitHub glossary wiki at the same time
• At that point the glossary community could move into "maintenance mode" in which further revisions are managed via the glossary wiki

Next steps with the ToIP Term tool

• What specific milestones do we need to reach with glossary wikis (and other topics) to finalize the ToIP Term tool spec and pull the trigger on the bounty?
