Currently the info node Terminology is not sorted, the order in ngnus
0.01 the order is news, mail, reply, follow up, back end, ... Since
the list is starting to getting long I don't think they should occur,
IMHO, in "logical" order - e.g. related items are groups together -
but in sorted order, i.e. back end, follow up, mail, news, reply.

I think one should more or less add the texts you gave above for
unseen and unread.

Since Gnus can mark an article in so very many different ways and it
is not obvious for a newbie to understand that the X mark makes the
article unseen, read and ancient (to take a couple of classifications
out of the blue). Therefore I think it is important to explain the
terminology everyone else takes for granted. All IMHO off course.

(The reason I do not add this myself is that a do not have write
access to the CVS and that I haven't signed any papers. I could write
down the text and email someone whom could commit it, but since I
technically is owning the copyright [lets not get into that legal
argument, shall we? I think you all understand what I mean] then and
FSF is a bit finicky about that nowadays, I prefer not to do it. But
if someone convinces me that it is all right I will probably do so,
i.e. send the list some edited texts [or anyone that volunteers for
committing? ;-) ].)
