This is an excellent page, and it deserves to be better known throughout the community. It would be extremely useful for anyone who is new to H2G2.
Additional terms should include
* Underguide
* Salonistas
* Writing Workshop
* Flea Market
* Alternative Writing Workshop
* Update Forum
* The Forum
* hootoo / hootooers
* House Rules
* nighthoover (the cult of) 
* Ask, or Ask H2G2
* txtspk or text speak
* Brunel / Alabaster / Goo
* Writing Guidelines
* Premod / pre-moderation
* skin
* etc.
It could also do with some more abbreviations as they are used extremely casually by researchers, as in..
* PR
* EG
* AWW
* UG
* IMHO
* IRL / RL
* MotMV
* HHGTTG
* LOTR
* POV
* etc.
Just a thought, maybe this should be put in the Update Forum to get more eyes looking at what should be included?
