Liber Desoccultatum: Of Deciphering Abbreviations
Posted: Sun Mar 16, 2014 7:01 am
Greetings,
As a new member of the community, I often have difficulties to figure out the meaning of abbreviations used here and on IRC.
So I had the idea of creating a glossary of the acronyms I could understand. I would be happy to complete this list (or correct it if I gave a wrong interpretation) with any useful addition or comment you may think of.
