Glossary
This page provides a glossary of terms.
Summary
The Restart Wiki tries to assume no previous knowledge, only a willingness to learn, and so we try to introduce and explain technical terms as we go along. But you might dip in and out or read the end of an article before the beginning. So this page gathers together as many technical terms as possible, as a single point of reference.
