Since there have been a number questions regarding the acronyms and other abbreviations used frequently on our DVC Boards, there may be some value in creating our own list.
There is also a list of common abbreviations already on the DIS which is fairly comprehensive. So be sure to check there also for others not on this list.
Also, please review the DVC Resource Center, found at the top on every DVC discussion forum.
