How much do you want to tell? That is, do you want to provide more than an overview of LDAP? That is, do you want to write document discussing LDAP basics?
Do you think this would benefit potential users?
Certainly a good document discussing LDAP basics might benefit users of OpenLDAP Software.... if you want to write something like this, go for it. I'd suggest doing so as a separate document.
My original point was intended to do a wee paragraph for each item in the glossary, much like the previous LDAP link I sent and for example, what you would find in the glossary of "Programming Perl".
Understand.
What we have just now is really "Acronyms and Abbreviations".
Yes. I meant it only as a starting point, as it contains many of the terms one might one to define in a glossary. While some of the tables now in the Appendix A may be useful (like references), not sure if they all are.
Presently I'm thinking that the General LDAP FAQ is a good place to develop a glossary. I also think it best to write it from scratch. Many of definitions you referenced are pretty bad. I rather base most of the definitions from the LDAP Technical Specification.
