As someone who is hunting different concepts and events to catch up on the cryptocurrency from a Newbs perspective, it's occurred to me to consider posting a website with basic definitional breakdowns in a central place. Example-Block Chain: what it is, why it's important. Including audio files of the content for iTunes and other platforms. While I understand nobody else here would need such a resource, do you see any value in such an endeavor, or an obvious reason not to do it?

  I think this would be a great resource.
  One of the biggest hurdles to understanding Bitcoin is, I believe, the use of existing words to refer to new concepts. When people ask me about bitcoins, I usually find myself continuously going off on tangents that start with "but first let me explain what this term means in this context". It would be nice to have someplace to refer interested parties to.

  This would be very helpful.
  IMO A huge hurdle is getting the general public to trust the cryto community. It took me quite a lot of research until I understood it enough to trust it. A resource like this would promote growth a lot faster because it would lower the barrier to entry in a sense by educating people faster.
  I would be interesting in contributing toward a resource like this.

  Excellent! This is the little validation I needed to take first steps in this process. If I make any real headway, I'll post on this thread. I'd hate to team up before I get an ounce of work done on the idea.

  I also thought this would be a good project to incorporate the audio file sharing system Adam mentioned in the first Saturday town hall.

  Have you seen the Bitcoin wiki http://en.bitcoin.it/ ? On the LTBcoin side, we're also starting http://wiki.ltbcoin.com/ which you might want to contribute to. 
  Having the content accessible as audio too is a great idea.

  Can I vouch myself to do an episode or two where I simply go through a list with Maybe another person or two and we literally act as an audio glossary for common terms within bitcoin?  Think like a Genesis Block or to elaborate what the difference is between the public key and public address and furthermore what mining means and mining terms. as well.  I've seen a site here: http://www.thebitcoinsociety.org/content/bitcoin-beauty-trustless-transactions trying to do the same thing in terms of spreading adoption and awareness as well.
