Helping new users understand/keep track of terminology from the front page onwards
donnch opened this issue · 2 comments
For those of us inside the ecosystem it is important to remember the outsiders who could become insiders. Terminology should be clear and abbreviations in particular should be easy to understand/follow. Part of this is ensuring terms are clearly defined and that people can see the connections between things. I therefore would like to suggest this as a starting example (I've bolded body text changes, but note also the headings):
Lyrion Music Server (LMS)
Lyrion Music Server (formerly Logitech Media Server , and often abbreviated as "LMS" ) is open-source software which can control and serve (stream) music to a wide range of physical and virtual audio players called "Squeezeboxes". Lyrion Music Server can stream your local music collection, internet radio stations, and content from many streaming services (with and without subscriptions).
The Lyrion Music Server (LMS) ecosystem
In 2000, Squeezebox players hit the market as hardware and software developed by Slim Devices, later acquired by Logitech. A wide array of hardware and software solutions make up the LMS ecosystem of servers and players for many different operating systems, and these have changed many times over the years.
Sounds good to me! Would you be able to provide a pull request?
Unfortunately I'm not at all familiar with how Github/development works and don't have the headspace to come up to speed right now. I would certainly like to contribute properly in the future. Hopefully my feedback above can still be helpful in the meantime.
