+=head1 RT Glossary
+
+This document is intended to be a glossary of terms used in RT.  Currently it
+doesn't even scratch the surface, but with time it should be expanded.
+
+=head2 Right names
+
+RT uses a handful of (mostly) standard prefixes to create right names of the
+form "<action><object>".  The prefixes and their meanings (if not apparent)
+are explained here.
