# How to use this glossary
This is a collection of common terms that have a specific meaning in the context of the Servo project. The goal is to provide high-level definitions and useful links for further reading, rather than complete documentation about particular parts of the code.
If there is a word or phrase used in Servo's code, issue tracker, mailing list, etc. that is confusing, please make a pull request that adds it to this file with a body of `TODO`. This will signal more knowledgeable people to add a more meaningful definition.
