Thanks for your proposal, @dret. I'm not sure about the youtube video reference. Is there also an article/paper from Hyrum we can reference? What do the others think? |

| Hyrums Law (benannt nach dem Google-Ingenieur Hyrum Wright) besagt, dass bei einer ausreichend großen Anzahl von Nutzern irgendjemand von jedem beobachtbare Verhalten einer Schnittstelle abhängen wird. |

I don't see that relevant, as the rule is not mentioned in the Foundation curriculum. Therefore, I don't want to care about it. It's a nice mention during the trainings, though. |
It will be part of the API module for sure, so it would be nice to have it included in the glossary. |

Ola Erik, we are currently discussing wether to restrict the Glossary to Foundation-terms, as NO other advanced group has ever actively participated in its creation and maintenance... and for the Foundation it is highly useful for exam preparation (which is not relevant for Advanced). |

Ok, that's useful info, thanks. I was under the (apparently mistaken) impression that other modules should be represented in the glossary as well. I am completely fine to just focus on the foundation, and then all we (the API module) have to do is to possibly add a few terms from foundation that we want to use as well and that aren't currently covered in the glossary.
Here's my personal opinion: Hyrum's law should be something everybody knows about. You can design all you want and still people will build things in ways you didn't think about... https://xkcd.com/1172/

I believe Eriks thesis that everybody should know this rule... (although I've never heard of it). Glossary entries contain no risks, therefore it might be better to have more |
