[vtkusers] VTK Glossary

[Amy Squillacote]

Hi Peter,

You're right that there isn't a VTK glossary, but there is no reason you 
couldn't add it to the wiki. If you don't already have an account, go to 
http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK, and click on "Create an account or log in" 
in the upper right corner. Once you create an account, you can add a 
glossary page to the wiki. One of the main reasons for having a wiki is 
that it can be easily extended by members of the VTK community.
