#+TITLE: gloss — Glossary Lookup with Online-Sourced Selection
#+OPTIONS: toc:nil
A personal Emacs glossary. =C-h g= looks up terms in a single git-tracked org file. On a local miss, =gloss= fetches candidate definitions from Wiktionary and prompts you to pick which one to save — with provenance recorded. The same org file feeds =org-drill= for spaced-repetition study.
* Status
In active development. v1 not yet released. See [[file:docs/design/gloss.org][docs/design/gloss.org]] for the full design.
* Why not just =quick-sdcv= or =dictionary=?
Domain jargon — government acronyms, technical terms, philosophy vocabulary, project-specific names — doesn't live in any general dictionary, so =quick-sdcv= and =M-x dictionary= can't help. =gloss= grows by use: encounter a term, save it once, and it's permanently looked-up-able and study-card-able.
* Quick start
(This section will fill out as v1 lands. For now, see [[file:docs/design/gloss.org][docs/design/gloss.org]].)
* License
GPL-3.0-or-later. See [[file:LICENSE][LICENSE]].
