[projectvrm] Victoria's Secret Models, Bare-Chested Firemen, and VRM (was VRM Glossary Fest 2015)

[Lucas Cioffi < >]

Hi All,

Hopefully this idea for a community-crowdsourced glossary now sounds sexy :)

• Phase 1: Please take 90 seconds to list all the terms that you want the VRM community to define: https://etherpad.mozilla.org/0FscV2GOvv  No sign in is required.
  
• Phase 2: We'll use QiqoChat or another process to define the terms.
  
• Phase 3: We upload them to the ProjectVRM wiki and to Wikipedia.

OK thanks Lucas, i’ve added a few terms that would benefit from precise, referenced definitions.

I’d suggest the key definitions developed be targeted at wikipedia, not just the VRM wiki.

Cheers
