Re: DAGs?

I was confused about this too when working on documentation for our data
platform! FWIW, there is a glossary at
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_Platform/Systems/Airflow/Developer_guide#Glossary.
It seems like that Developer Guide page has become a bit buried compared to
the content at
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_Platform/Systems/Airflow. I just
added a link to it on the DAG page Andre referenced, and I modified the
Airflow page to try to make the link to
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_Platform/Systems/Airflow/Developer_guide
more obvious.
