|
||
entries. You can improve your submission's chances of being included by
|
||
adding background information on user population and years of currency.
|
||
References to actual usage via URLs and/or Google pointers are particularly
|
||
welcomed.</p><p>All contributions and suggestions about the Jargon File will be
|
||
considered donations to be placed in the public domain as part of this File,
|
||
and may be used in subsequent paper editions. Submissions may be edited for
|
||
accuracy, clarity and concision.</p><p>We are looking to expand the File's range of technical specialties
|
||
covered. There are doubtless rich veins of jargon yet untapped in the
|
||
scientific computing, graphics, and networking hacker communities; also in
|
||
numerical analysis, computer architectures and VLSI design, language design,
|
||
and many other related fields. Send us your jargon!</p><p>We are <span class="emphasis"><em>not</em></span> interested in straight technical terms
|
||
explained by textbooks or technical dictionaries unless an entry illuminates
|
||
‘underground’ meanings or aspects not covered by official
|
||
histories. We are also not interested in ‘joke’ entries —
|
||
there is a lot of humor in the file but it must flow naturally out of the
|
||
explanations of what hackers do and how they think.</p><p>It is OK to submit items of jargon you have originated if they have
|
||
spread to the point of being used by people who are not personally acquainted
|
||
with you. We prefer items to be attested by independent submission from two
|
||
different sites.</p><p>The Jargon File will be regularly maintained and made available for
|
||
browsing on the World Wide Web, and will include a version number. Read it,
|
||
pass it around, contribute — this is <span class="emphasis"><em>your</em></span>
|

monument!</p></div><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="conventions.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="pt01.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="lexicon.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">Chapter 11.
