[Lexicon] Workschedule - Descriptions and more

Dear lexicon task force colleagues,

As promised in the teleconference here an overview of the number of words starting with the same letter and a work schedule for the coming months.

Elections, Elections!!
No, not for a new president of the US, although some of you would wish that it was still possible. Now it is about the entries and best descriptions of the entries on behalf of our Beginners Lexicon. 
Attached you will also find the Lexicon description overview again, but now with the contribution of Libby (She already sent earlier, sorry!).
With great interest I read the alternative descriptions of Carol and Libby besides the existing descriptions in the WAI glossary and my own trials. As members of Education and Outreach we should be able to come up with the best ever.
As we discussed in the teleconference we should only divert from the existing description if these does not meet our criterion on clear and plain language! May I ask everyone to read the descriptions, write your own if you think it's appropriate or react on what is already done?

The WAI glossary consists of 456 entries in total. To compose a Lexicon that consists of 40 - 50 entries means 10 percent of all entries. My suggestion is to take that as an average percentage and that we focus on the content of the lexicon that we regard as useful for our target group.
