Well, this might be the right channel to ask:

Does anybody know where these (heavily used) acronyms are explained for 
developers and users?
i18n, L10n and a11y are not self explaining, shouldn't they go into 
Glossary (maybe "General Technical Terms")?
 
i18n == "internationalization" ("i" + 18 letters + "n")
L10n == "localization" ("L" + 10 letters + "n"; upper case L is used to 
distinguish it from the numeral 1 (one))
a11y == "accessibility" ("a" + 11 letters + "y")
