!Friendica Support !iSurf Support

I see a great deal of potential for Friendica. I believe it has diverse and useful functionality. Unfortunately, I find it difficult figuring out how to use it. So, I'd like to help, if possible. Better documentation is needed, in my opinion.

Is there already a glossary of functions and terminology for Friendica users? Ideally this is rich text, with version control so multiple people can work on it simultaneously.

Maybe the improved documentation even has hyperlinks to 2 minute video clips demonstrating the concepts and the steps of how the concept and functionality work?

I'd like to read an "Index" which has terms-words-icons and their definitions, namely, who they are, what they are, or what they do.

And then a reverse-index which says, "if you want to do (fill in the blank), or you are looking for {person, place, thing, function}, well that is called {its name}, this is how it works, see it (here in the glossary). Basically a rank-beginner-friendly "How-to" / "Freqently Asked Questions" illustrated with pictures and video.

Example of Glossary Words:

Account Types: There are several account types. Individual persons have account type (what is it called)? XXX would have account type YYY. See XXX and YYY in the glossary.

Calendar: My personal calendar? A calendar my friends and I see?

Category: A category is ... They are defined per (person? instance? globally?) They are applied to (what)? They are related to tags (like how)?

Contact: A contact is ... Here's how you make a person or a group a contact

Feed: A feed is ... (a sequence of threaded messages?) Here's how you find them, interact with them. What actions can be performed on them? Can be deleted in part or in whole?

Follower: A follower is ... Here's how they're related to you. Here's the interactions you can have with them.

Forum: A forum is ... Here's how you can find them and interact with them. Here's how you can create one. Is/isn't permitted on all Friendica instances

Friend: A friend is.... Difference between friend, follower, following and contact explained somewhere.

Group: A group is ... How to find them, create them, how they function

Example of FAQ
How do I mirror my feed on one instance to my Friendica account on another instance? Why would I want to do this? (To back it up in case one of the Friendica instances becomes unstable or goes off line. Take advantage of the natural redundancy of a decentralized network)

How do I find groups of people with interests such as my own? Who creates a group? Can I create one? How do I attract people to my group, whether I created it or not? Can groups create calendars of events. E.g. A book club which meets once a month to discuss the book and pick the next one.

How do I create different groups of feeds? For example, I'd like a feed I in which I participle for gaming and gamers. I'd like a feed for participating with Friendica contributers. I'd like a feed for book clubs. I'd like to easily switch between these feeds. How do I create them and switch between them?
