Definitions

The starter definitions are for terms in use at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. You can use your own set by overwriting src/json/acro.json.

If you want to use a private set of definitions, you can alternatively set an environment variable called HUBOT_ACRO_PRIVATE_FILE on your server that points to the location of your private json file. The hubot will load those definitions instead of the public ones.
