Looks like you're it! > Do you need me to host it? No thanks, it should be part of dbi.perl.org. The DBI/FAQ.pm shipped with the DBI is the master and is what needs updating. Sending me a patch would be a fine way to do that. I suggest that you post a message asking people to suggest FAQ's (directly to you rather than the list). That, plus some trawling of the archives should give you ample material! But don't try to achieve perfection first time out. Just a decent update with the *most* Frequently Asked Qusetions's would be wonderful! Many thanks Ilya!
