if you entered those right away in the wiki it would have more entries by 
now ;-). Seriously, i think it makes more sense to write them in the wiki 
then discuss them here. One has not to look over dozzens of news threads to 
get the definitions but can look in one place, the wiki. that looks easier 
to me.

and there is a good example on how it works when many people submit their 
part and the rating is done after a while, based on that submissions. i'm 
talking of the great python cookbook that is now available as a printed 
book.

the use of a wiki may require a bit familiarization but then its realy a 
nice and efficent tool.
