Hi Sandro,

You have made an excellent outline of possible future actions for OSCOM.

If OSCOM would like to share in a collaborative glossary project that is 
being syndicated to several CM-related web sites, we can provide a web 
services feed, styled with OSCOM graphics.

See these different examples:

http://www.cmglossary.com

http://www.cmprofessionals.org/resources/glossary.html

Here is the basic drop-down menu for content management:
http://www.cmscalendar.com/cms-glossfeed.html

Here is a version optimized for Information Architecture:
http://www.cmscalendar.com/ia-glossfeed.html

Here it is on a page for Taxonomists
http://www.taxotips.com

The CMS Wiki is the source of the collaborative definitions.

Details on the code needed for the OSCOM site are here:

To customize the look of the popup windows to OSCOM look and colors, 
please contact me.
