The next version on the Dictionary Infusion has become the Terms Infusion. Folders and files have been renamed and database tables and field names in those tables have been updated to reflect the change. This requires a more complicated update procedure than before but it is all documented in the readme.
Still scheduled are the modification of maincore.php that will allow the use of [glos] [/glos] tags. Between those tags, a term (single word, not a phrase yet, I am afraid) will become a link to the page with the description of the term. As the description field already allows the use of BBcode it is well suited to give nicely formatted descriptions. Even illustrations are possible (though it needs some work for consistent page layout). The good news is: The basics are already working on my localhost site and a 'demo' is gven in the relevant forum thread.

The Dictionary will not be lost alltogether. I will start modifying the files so that it should be possible choose upon infusion whether it will be a Glossary or a Dictionary (offering two different files, one of which should be renamed to infusion.php). Using an admin setting it should also be possible to switch using different features for the Dictionary or Glossary and at the same time switch locale files.
