I am willing to spend five minutes each month maintaining a blackbox FAQ.
I do have a FAQ at http://www.reedmedia.net/misc/blackbox/faq.html which I
know needs lots of updates and additions. (I have compiled many updates --
which I just need to add. I'll try to do it today.)
Themes.org asked me a couple months ago if they could publish my FAQ and
I said yes, but I haven't heard back from them since. I now see that
themes.org has changed their layout and you have to go a few levels deep
(to see all the advertisements) before you can get to the link to my
FAQ.
I can quickly create a backend for my FAQ so it can easily generate clean
text and HTML. Once cleaned up and updated, I'll submit the text FAQ to be
included with the blackbox source. Also, if anyone wants to re-use my FAQ,
please let me know. Also it would be good if the FAQ was mentioned in the
mailing list "welcome" message and is available as a link from the
official blackbox webpage.
