This page has been created to navigate the increasingly confusing alphabet soup of acronyms that has evolved over the past decade. Where acronyms were intended to save time, they're more likely confusing at this point; please, if you're part of a new organization, a cool acronym is not indicative of how cool the group is. Acronym not here? Suggest it
