I think the information on the building page is mostly related to issues whilst building. I don't think it should be moved to a single FAQ as I'm sure there will be FAQs on lots of different topics (other than building) and a single FAQ would get out of hand.
Maybe we can restructure the information so we don't have too much one one page. For example, have a page about required build (pre-requisites) tools and how to set them up (e.g. IDEs, svn firewall proxy info). We could move some of the build troubleshooting into separate pages.. maybe a page for maven, a page for diagnosing/troubleshooting tests. It would be nice if a developer not familiar with svn & maven can build geronimo without having to go to multiple web sites to find how to invoke and configure tools for a standard geronimo build. I don't think we should be removing information, as some of the tips were most likely the result of someone spending hours troubleshooting or learning how to use a tool.
