Terminology issues: Grouping of terms

[Kristen James Eberlein <kris@eberleinconsulting.com>]

I am reworking the Terminology topic according to the review comments and the following discussion on the TC mailing list:

Can anyone clarify for me what decision was made about how to group the terms? On the first terminology call which I chaired, we decided that Gershon would attempt to devise an ordering scheme, but that we would default to simply listing the terms in alphabetical order if the group did not come to a consensus on how to group the terms.

Was a grouping order agreed upon? Or should I simply alphabetize the terms?
