IMO renaming "Template Variables" to "Content Fields" would help to clarify MODx lingo even further.
I think documents like this one should get published in the Wiki for team internal use. That would allow us to work together on concepts and internal documentation as well as collect information in one place in a structured form. I came on this idea just a few days after joining the team when I tried to catch up with the development discussion, which is spread in a number of topics.
After giving it a deeper thought, I think the lack of team documentation is one of the reason for the lack of the public one. At least concepts and plans for the future releases should be published for the team use in a document form. Remember, we come from different countries, cultures, professional backgrounds, and have diffrent level of English. That means not all of us, myself included, are able to understand easily what others try to communicate. Let me quote Ryan:

The biggest problem with Jason’s stuff is that no one outside of him has really seen it, and quite frankly when he describes it, it seem way too complex and intimidating for me -- I call it too "wooshy".
I’m far from trying to offend Jason. I’m rather trying to communicate a need for a better way of discussing the development path.
What you think?
