  Ah yes, the yearly posting of the Jargon File.

    i   dict-jargon       - dict package for The Jargon Lexicon

  The Jargon File is a relic. Not only that, it's in some cases overly influenced by ESR's views, see for example that hacker politics are "more recently moderate-to-neoconservative" (as well as the anti-idiotarianism entry).

  We should start a NEW new hacker's dictionary.
