Merge terminology sections into one larger section

[MakisH]

Touching this, a question would be whether we really want to have this and the Terminology as different sections at the same level. I would suggest:

• Terminology
  • The term Research Software Engineering
  • Other terms

@CaptainSifff @jpthiele opinions?

Hi @MakisH , It's not that I don't see the point that you've raised, it's just that the current structure has proven/should prove useful:

• We introduced the large chapter to have a discussion of the RSE at a clearly visible heading point with the intent of giving it it's own TOC entry.
• The Terminology section has proven useful, to give a quick 1-2 Sentence summary of the terms that we have.

I mean currently subsubsection entries are rendered in the TOC. would it break your layout?

[CaptainSifff]

Do we have good alternative to "other terms"?

[jpthiele]

Further terms?

[CaptainSifff]

What about

• Terminology
• • The concept of the Research Software Engineer (To have less term)
• • other definitions

or further definitions

We talked about this before. I understand why we want to have a separate section and was convinced that it is a good idea.

I think if we want to change something we should merge the two sections.

[MakisH]

I understand that it is useful to have this as a stand-alone entity, also in the table of contents. My only objection is that these seemingly related sections are at the same hierarchy level.

[CaptainSifff]

OK, then let's put it in a hierarchy as you suggested.

[MakisH]

Done:

Which now generates the question of whether RSE is defined twice:

[CaptainSifff]

Yes, but I would like to keep it that way. As the first two sentences are a directly citable instance of "Research Software Engineer".
