FAQ: glossary troubleshooting
The glossary is difficult to get started. If you are in a hurry, consider writing it by hand. Here's what I did to get it going using the nomencl package. Jakob Suckale

how to place a nomenclature entry
\nomenclature[zcif]{$CIF$}{Cauchy's Integral Formula}
z for abbreviations (defined in .cls)
\nomenclature[sorting]{XYZ}{description}
how to generate the files required
makeindex filename.nlo -s path/nomencl.ist -o filename.nls
nomencl.ist = index style file
e.g. with full paths on my systems:
/usr/local/gwTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin7.9.0/makeindex thesis.nlo -s /usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.texlive/makeindex/nomencl/nomencl.ist -o thesis.nls
or define TexShop engine: ~/Library/TexShop/Engines/Nomencl.engine
makeindex "${1%%.tex}.nlo" -s /usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.texlive/makeindex/nomencl/nomencl.ist -o "${1%%.tex}.nls"
chmod u+x Nomencl.engine
FAQ: empty page after section
The template appends an empty page to a section if it ends on an odd page number. This is not bug but a feature to allow all section start pages to start on an odd page, i.e. a page that faces you when you open the thesis or flip a page.
