Subject:      Idea to help archive searches?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

So, I'm thinking to myself....

I see there's a dictionary on the Vanagon.com page. A useful thing. But....

Is there a list of commonly used Vanagon/general automotive terms? One that might include slang or popularly used equivalent?

i.e.

"Propane" : LP, LP tank, Propane tank, gas

"fridge": refer, refrigerator,

If one was created in the Vanagon Wiki (or ?) would that would help people search the archives or other database, more effectively?

Sometimes I find that coming up with search terms is a little challenging. I'm sure others have experienced this.

A searchable list would be neat too.

Anyone tried this? Is this too big of a project?

Just curious,

Neil.
