Do we want to come up with a list of terms that definitely need defining, at least from where we stand now?  More will be added incrementally, for sure.

* Data Grid

* In-memory data grid
* Write through
* Write behind

* MVCC
* Optimistic Locking
* Pessimistic Locking
* Deadlock
* Livelock
* Write skew
* Isolation level
* 2-phase commit
* 1-phase commit
* XA resource
* JTA synchronization
* Split brain/network partition

... what else?

I've added a new docs category - Glossary. This is for defining terminology we use that new users (and experienced users) might have trouble with. "Data Grid" would be a great example.

For each item in the glossary, create a page underneath Glossary, and then we can link it in using an include. An item in the Glossary should use an h2. heading and include the heading in the text body as well as have a page title - this just makes the item reusable.
