Great idea, and invaluable for eros.

I'd consider keeping SW acronyms separate from general net acronyms. At least in separate lists if not separate threads. Alphabetical order would be good, too. I see you've included "Faces" - I think it's a good idea to include non-acronyms that need some explanation (see below). And if you post it in General SW Discussion, it'll be the most interesting new thread there in a month.

Other commonly used ones that spring to mind are...

SW: JSC (=SC), DefCol (=DC), pre-THX, '85 mix, '93 mix; pre-ANH, '97 SE (as opposed to '04), SSE (='04 SE);

Screen-names: MBJ (MeBeJedi), TM (Trooperman), bh (baby hum), DJ or d_j (dark_jedi), DE (Darth Editous), dfnyc (digitalfreaknyc);

Technical: HDVD, BR (blu-ray); wav, mpeg, mpg, mpv, 35mm, 70mm, Super8; Dolby Stereo, 6-track, 5.1, 2.0, o-neg, IP (interpositive), IN (internegative), DI (digital intermediate);

General: ROTFLMAO, AFAIK.
