Subject: [PATCH 4/4] doc: datamodel: link to the glossary
Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2026 20:55:24 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <datam_to_glossary.bee@msgid.xyz> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CV_doc_datamodel_advertize.bea@msgid.xyz>
From: Kristoffer Haugsbakk <code@khaugsbakk.name>
We linked from the glossary to the data model page in the last commit.
It can also be useful to link the other way for readers who might want
to reference more terminology.
Signed-off-by: Kristoffer Haugsbakk <code@khaugsbakk.name>

Notes (series):
But: maybe the See Also link is enough here?
> a comprehensive terminology reference
This is descriptive or aspirational. Either works.
