RAW - An image file containing the most original capture data. Since RAW files have minimal adjustments, RAW files contain the most data. RAW files are processed, or developed, to yield a conventional image file such as a TIF or JPEG. It is imperative to shoot to a RAW file and save the RAW so as to protect your downstream choices.

Readers Comments - A web 2.0 functionality that allows viewers of a Website to comment on any item they have just read. Readers comments are typically implemented in several ways. Either the viewer is required to create a login or sign on to the site, or they can post anonymously but with a CAPTCHA test. Some sites allow the viewer to post anonymously without any test, instead either relying on the good will of the contributor OR an internal moderator that is ensuring that the comment is not inappropriate.

Requiring login for readers comments is not a great way to implement this functionality since it inhibits participation.

Really Simple Syndication (RSS) - A set of formats used to represent frequently updated web content, such as news stories or blog entries. RSS documents, or feeds, provide a summary of the source's information and provide an efficient and easy way to aggregate data.

Regression Testing - This is the practice of re-testing a software system from top to bottom to ensure that nothing has broken due to introduction of new functionality or changed hardware/operating environments.

Regression testing is one of the most commonly skimped-on practices in the IT world today, costing billions of dollars in lost productivity. Further, many companies do not have documented protocols for regression testing.

A regression testing policy, once documented and put in place, should be an indispensable best practice of any company's project management office tools.

Rich Text Editor - A feature-rich text editing platform, usually implemented as an 'appliance' or 'widget' through a Web browser that allows advanced text editing capabilities such as formatting, spellcheck, bullets, lists, and other features commonly offered by Office-class applications.

Runsheet - In Magazine publishing, a matrix of data, usually in MS Excel, that consists of articles that will appear in a particular issue. The runsheet (sometimes also called tracker) normally includes due dates and resource names that will be executing tasks.
