Yes!

There are some odd words in there. Like this one:

polygamodioecious

but not the root dioecious, or these two related variants...

gynodioecious, androdioecious

I think a bit of tinkering might improve the dictionary significantly. Thumbs up

Would the additions be passed by a review panel?

Good point Lynn, I am a bit wary of anyone and everyone adding definitions. There needs to be some standards.

Good idea to allow additions, but yes I would think a review panel would be a good idea. I noticed in some glossary suggestions in a thread elsewhere that one of the definitions being proposed was completely wrong.

I would never allow just anyone to come and post whatever they wanted into the dictionary. Any submission would be approved or declined by a moderator panel.

There have been some additions to the glossary that include images. Can any of those be merged into the existing dictionary? (I know people like to see images whenever they apply to the word.) Thank You!

They were called 'glossary tips' and were published in the Articles and Ideas after being approved. I had written one for the word propagule. Here is a screen shot.

Okay, I see. That system is completely separate from what we're talking about putting together.

When the time is right, I've got some propagules right here... Smiling perhaps the kind of illustration that might bring a word to life.

Yes, separate. Perhaps some of those glossary tips could be moved to the new place if they are applicable? Shrug!

Yes, since there are many types of propagules, several photos could be added to illustrate the meaning of the word. Thumbs up

We have to wait; Super Dave is on some big project. All us little folks have to twiddle our thumbs and hold our collective breath as we prepare to be amazed.
