Unless I missed something, it's pretty hard to offer feedback on the web 
site (joining this list was the only thing I could figure out - which 
isn't all bad since I do plan to port some packages to fink).

Anyhow, I just wanted to suggest one small addition:

In FAQ 3.8 (accessing unstable packages), after recommending copying the 
.info/.patch files to /sw/fink/dists/local, it should also say that 
"fink index" needs to be done in order to see the package.

So it might read something like this:

If you only want one or two specific packages, it is safer to copy those 
.info files (and their associated .patch files, if there are any) from 
/sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/finkinfo to 
/sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo, then run "fink index". If you want 
Fink to use all of unstable, edit /sw/etc/fink.conf and add 
unstable/main to the Trees: line.
