Actually, I think it would be good to post an already defined acronym to the
main LUGNET page. Sort of an "intro to LEGO". That way new people are aware
that there are acronyms and a place where they are defined. The current FAQ
page is a little buried if you ask me.

I think a new acronym every week could get difficult after a short time,
that's why I would suggest recycling old acronyms through every so often.
