6 <para>The recommendation here is to build a glossary database (Chapter 17 of Stayton's
7 book) that is writable by any author or editor with commit privileges. Authors can
8 populate it with whatever terms they like, using a simple rule for id
9 disambiguation (such as gloss.term, where gloss is constant and term is the term
10 itself). If we need to disambiguate two forms of the same term, we can add a
11 suffix. The build process described in Stayton's book builds a glossary for each
12 document based on the terms used in that document.</para>
14 <para>For authors without commit privileges, this becomes a little more complex. One
15 thought would be to have authors submit their glossary entries in a separate file,
16 which editor-committers can then upload.</para>
