Also the synonym POW should be added.

Proof of stake isn't a current or proposed Bitcoin feature, so I don't think it belongs in the developer glossary. POW is already there (screenshot of P):

Good point. It can be used as a voting mechanism in bitcoin, but since it's not part of the Core protocol, it probably does not deserve a glossary entry. (Also I meant to say "POS" as the synonym. Oops.)
