From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (FOLDOC)
is an online, searchable, encyclopedic
dictionary of
computing subjects. It was founded in
1985
by Denis Howe and is hosted by
Imperial College London. Howe has served as the
Editor-in-Chief since the dictionary's inception, with visitors
to the website able to make suggestions for additions or
corrections to articles.
The dictionary incorporates the text of other free resources,
such as the
Jargon File, as well as covering many other
computing-related topics. Due to its availability under the
GNU
Free Documentation License, a
copyleft license, it has in turn been incorporated in whole
or part into other
free content projects, such as
Wikipedia.
