As an aside, I think this is fine short term but won't serve us well when
we do ship localized releases since users will want the FAQ / Help
to be in their native languages.
Wiki is also not really the best place for localized content since it
is decentralized from the rest of the Chandler i18n framework.
Each localized FAQ would have to be manually kept in sync when
the English FAQ changes.
For the long term, I would like to propose shipping Help documentation
with the release. It serves i18n better and also meets the use case where
Chandler is off-line but help is needed.

At this point in time, I would favor "Chandler FAQ". I think our
current target user will understand what FAQ stands for and will be
familiar with the format.

I'd be up for adding that to Chandler. What should the title of the
menu item say? "Chandler FAQ ..."?

PS: I have a slight ulterior motive for doing this: It would allow me
to move the "About Chandler" menu item to its standard place on the
Mac, without leaving an empty "Help" menu in the menu bar.
