  Glossary
  
    Activity Theory is not in the glossary, and should be:
	
	A way of analysing situations that focuses on the participants, 
	their social relations, and their tools, rather than time or output. 
	
    Dunbar's number is not in the glossary, and should be:
	
	The maximal size of a social network (of close associates) that people 
	can maintain given their cognitive limitations.  Some estimates put it 
	around 160 connections.
