This morning I was reading a random page on PlanetKDE, about the GSoC extender 
project, and had to backtrack several entries to find out what an extender 
was. As this is a cool new feature, I started thinking about all the other 
cool new features that I know nothing at all about. That avalanched into 
thinking about the new KDE4 jargon, new services with funny names, all those 
plugins for krunner, etc.

It's missing some terms. For example, "containment". To me that brings to mind 
the stuff they did at Chernobyl when they poured tons of concrete all over 
the reactor. Also, the "extender" mentioned above. 

p.s. The "widget" entry needs to be improved. Widgets are have one meaning in 
X11/Qt, and another in Plasma, neither one of which have much relation to the 
entry.
