I bet there are hundreds of glossaries out there (I saw one post asking about mathematics).
Would folks like to indicate what they have that they would be willing to share?
I'm going to start working on a "tourism" glossary, and would love to make use of work of others!!! ;)

saw that, it's very, very limited, which is why I posted here (and then will ask folks to place them there.
Why don't you offer your japanese translating glossary there? If it has both English and Japanese definitions, then I'd surely be interested. Many of my students are also doing some Japanese language study (Japanese being the largest single group of visitors to Korea).
Well, I guess the exchange will remain limited unless we upload things there Also the exchange is going to get a facelift or complete work over soon apparently. I hope it gets some sort of "virtual economy" system.
I have just uploaded a short glossary of tourism terms in Japanese and English (the ones that we found difficult to translate) in WebCT format and EUC-JP encoding.
But perhaps I could make some more glossary entries. Are you thinking of a glossary that is from English to Korean or an English to English glossary? I may be able to cooperate. As of this April I will be part of the department of Tourism, and I am one of three teachers doing a "Tourism Communication" course. I am also teaching something Tourism related (to be decided) at another local university and I am trying to persuade that university to do online education.
On a more general note about sharing, It is sad how much we are sharing so much of the work of open source software programers and not sharing our course content. Perhaps this is not true? Or there are good reasons for this?
I used to upload stuff to the Moodle for Language Teaching exchange forum but:
1) I realised that I could not persuade people to put tests only on password protected sites (so that my students would not practice them by trial and error). My tests were out on the open Internet, which made them useless since 90 percent of my students will only do homework if they are marked on it.
2) I failed to drum up support from others at that time.
I took the tests down - except the ones on the demo of the language section - but many of the worksheets are still there. I see that the Exchange is starting to work so I think I will upload some worksheets. Or perhaps I will wait till the new exchange arrives. Moving stuff from exchange to exchange takes time.
This resource at the exchange looks really interesting. Thank you Anne Nicholson.
