FTA For Dummies / Glossary of Terms - FTA

SUGGESTION, QUESTION IDEA??????? Since this IS a Rookie site and since I'm a true Rookie. I thought it would be great to have access to a Dictionary of terms. (Case in Point): N3. I have no Idea what that is. Is there a technical terms list or a primer somewhere here that I could use when I find myself lost in jargon or technical terms. Has anyone taken the time to make a list of frequently used technical terms. I think it would be a very useful resource. It would be for me at least. Would anyone be willing to take this on.

I know I'd do the banana dance if I could navagate this new universe with such a tool as this. I envision it being a living terms list. People could contribute terms and someone here (a non rookie) could monitor terms for accuracy. SOOOOOOOO WHAT DO YOU THINK?

After starting this thread, I got busy elswhere and have not kept track of response. Just want to thank those who take the time to educate FTA Rookies like me. When I asked for assistance, I didn't realize how many resources there were already here. So thanks for sharing. If there were an FTA For Dummies, I would read it, but then, Id be over evaluated my intelligence.
