What terms are used in Cargo and what they mean is a common theme in Cargo issues/pulls, as well as in the documentation. Recently I just updated some of the docs to use the correct term in their place. (See #4376 and #4375)
I think with the expansion of Cargo features, it makes sense to have a Glossary document that describes each term and points to the detailed description.
We can add this to the new mdBook-based docs, and not in-repo.
Here's some example terms that I have seen confusions about in the docs and public spaces, like the users forum:
crate
package
build target (as in platform and its binary format)
target (as in lib, bins, tests, examples, ...)
crate file
package repository (as in git repo)
package registry (as in crates.io), a.k.a. package index
package root (the directory)
workspace root (the directory)
workspace root package (a package or its manifest)
repository root (the directory)
What do you think?
