Hi Peter, The only concern I have is to the quality of the answers. In the description of the how we can contribute to the the FAQ, you mention that we can send either questions or questions and answers to your email address. Since this group is made up of mostly newbies (myself included) how do we make sure that the answers submitted are as correct as possible (especially since Lisp doesn't just have to deal with several platforms, it also has to deal with several different implementations). I would love it if we had a panel of some Lisp gurus that looked over and gave their thumbs up to answers submitted by the gardeners, but that's just my 2 cents.
