Hi Mark,
of course I´m intersted in the cookie (as long as it´s no virtual one ), but my impression is that we are far away from it. My question in this forum http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=91487 refers to this.
It would be helpful to have secundary glossaries with the "real" data, and having main or global glossaries referring to the content of them. What we then need is kind of category showing where the glossary entry resides, or whom to contact in case of questions (teacher of the respective course?). At least it should be possible to aggregate secundary glossaries to a main glossary withou copying data.
The more I think about the glossaries, the less I see a difference between main and secundary glossaries...
Good luck with the cookie
Marcus
