I think that we should provide examples of usage "in the wild," as is seen in
many dictionary entries. (03)

Sure, but we don't want to just start referring people elsewhere, because the
whole point of coming to the lexicon is in part that they didn't understand the
literature. (05)

I vote for this. (07)

An additional use---reference the lexicon in papers, tutorials, web pages, etc,
to increase clarity and prevent misunderstanding. (09)

As noted above, I think this would be a good idea. If they are not used
ambiguously, formulating definitions won't be so difficult. (011)

Can we work on issues not encountered in the summer school? By the same token,
why don't those who were at the summer school put together a list of terms that
caused problems. (013)
