What to include?
Okay ladies and gentlemen, discuss which terms should be included on this page- military terms, slang, colloquialisms etc. --Madbrood 11:30, 12 September 2006 (CDT)
- Note they are RDM related only for this category. --Shane (T - C - E) 11:32, 12 September 2006 (CDT)
- Hence the title ;) --Madbrood 11:33, 12 September 2006 (CDT)
I'd include the following:
1.) abbreviations: CAG, CBDR, CAP
2.) military jargon: knuggle-dragger, snipe, Mark I eyeball
3.) other colloquialisms: toaster, skin job
4.) BSG specific terms: wireless, dradis, G-4, krypter, Morpha, Triad, Pyramid
Maybe even categorize them in categories along those lines to make it less confusing. There is some overlap, but the distinctions should also be clear to outsiders.
And there should be one line for a very brief explination. If people want further information, they can click on the link to the specific page if one exists

- Ok, I'll make a rough outline that can be refined later. And I'll order everything alphabetically within each category --Serenity 12:41, 12 September 2006 (CDT)
- Sounds good! -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate 12:50, 12 September 2006 (CDT)
- We may just want to have a bulleted list. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate 13:10, 12 September 2006 (CDT)
- Yeah. You edit conflict beat me to the bunch. I was going to suggest the same thing (to avoid the html). --Steelviper 13:12, 12 September 2006 (CDT)

I added some stuff. Comments?
Bullet points can still be added if you want. Feel free to change the layout

- I added the bullet points. Any other style changes that we should do? -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate 13:28, 12 September 2006 (CDT)
- What I did was group together terms with the same letter. I think it improves the clarity of the list. Or is it just me? --Serenity 13:32, 12 September 2006 (CDT)
- A small pic in the upper right might brighten the place up. I was thinking of a blackboard like this. Otherwise formatting-wise I think it's fine. Simple is beautiful. --Steelviper 13:39, 12 September 2006 (CDT)
- OK. Of course, for the image, we may just want to wait until the DVDs get released next week so we can capture a better one. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate 13:45, 12 September 2006 (CDT)
