Dictionary for Oolite jargon

*AddOn = Expansion, Mod, OXP, OXZ

*Expansion = AddOn, Mod, OXP, OXZ

*[[Hyperspace]] = the space which the witchspace wormhole tunnel traverses between two different star systems

*Mod = AddOn, Expansion, OXP, OXZ

*[[OXP]] = this term can be used in two senses: any AddOn, Expansion, Mod, OXP or OXZ ''or'' an unzipped AddOn, Expansion or Mod which often contains a [[Requires.plist]]. Those with a [[Manifest.plist]] can be managed by [[Oolite Starter]].

*OXZ = this usually refers specifically to a zipped AddOn, Expansion, Mod, OXP. They are stored in the ManagedAddOns folder and contain a [[Manifest.plist]]. They are managed by the in-game [[Expansions Manager]] and by [[Oolite Starter]]

*Witchspace = the space which the [[hyperspace]] wormhole tunnel traverses between two different star systems

		+	:A library in the programmer's sense: reusable code that people writing OXPs can use. That is to say instead of everyone writing a javascript method to land on a planet, one person does so and everyone else uses that:,
		+	::•[[Library OXP]], a programmers aid OXP containing snippets and helpers
		+	::•[[Cabal Common Library OXP]], the deprecated predecessor
		+	:''Or'' A library of books or of ship/station descriptions:
		+	::•[[Ship Library]] on the starting game screen - descriptions of ships, stations, asteroids and missiles mostly from the Vanilla game
		+	:'' Or'' an In-game library (eg,: under "Ship Systems" through the F4/4 station interface screen) when docked:
		+	::•[[Gallery]] OXP does something similar to the above but with all encountered items
		+	::•[[Technical Reference Library]] OXP - similar to Gallery but includes non-encountered ships.
		+	::•[[Ship's Library OXP]]: by Cim (with the Ship's Manual; a half-dozen library books are addable)

-*OXZ = this usually refers specifically to a zipped AddOn, Expansion, Mod, OXP. They must contain a [[manifest.plist]] file.  When downloaded through the built-in Expansion Manager, they are stored in the ManagedAddOns folder. However, they can be manually installed into the AddOns folder as per other OXPs. OXZ files in the ManagedAddons folder are managed by the in-game [[Expansions Manager]] and by [[Oolite Starter]]
