Please replace the existing wtf acronyms file with the list from the GTF

[Steve McInerney]

Binary package hint: bsdgames

Perhaps a repeat of similar requests to maintain an updated list.

A simple drop copy of http://www.xs4all.nl/~jtv/gtf/ (http://www.xs4all.nl/~jtv/gtf/GPL_TLA_FAQ for actual file) should be all that's required.

That list isn't suitable for replacing the current one, as it only contains three letter abbreviations.

Also, I personally think that it'd to do better as a separate package (but if someone else adds it: don't forget to include a copy of the GPL together with your patch, so that it is redistributable).

I think this list would be a nice addition.. most extensions and acronyms I tried in wtf didn't worked, which makes this program pretty useless.

[Adam Bolte (boltronics)]

Sure... but I think what we probably need is a wiki page set up somewhere that people can add acronyms and definitions to, which a bsdgames maintainer (or maintainer of the list as a separate package) could inspect and import every couple of months. If this sounds reasonable, I would be happy to contribute to it. Adding each acronym we come across to bug reports would be impractical and annoying for all.

Just today I came across AGIDH (All Good In Da Hood)... had to ask what it meant. The list of three letter abbreviations wouldn't be helpful in this case either.
