Cool. Good idea.
Can everyone take a look at these questions and take a crack at answering them, or add some more questions.

Now that wiki is editable again, I have added a page (http://wiki.apache.org/geronimo/FrequentlyAskedQuestions) containing your suggestions.OK I'll start:-
Project questions:
1. What is Geronimo?
- The usual as on geronimo incubator page
2. Why should I use Geronimo instead of A.N.Other-AppServer?
- full compliance etc.
3. Why does geronimo exist?
- motivation behind original developers
4. Can my company use Geronimo? Are there any restrictions?
- Usual apache license stuff
5. How is Geronimo designed? Do I need to learn lots of custom config stuff?
- Abstraction between service providers and config files perhaps
- Easy config steps (See my addition to WishList, no.20)
Admin questions:
1. How do I get started installing Geronimo?
- i.e. from pre-built download .tar.gz eventually(?)
2. How do I add additional services such as Tomcat/OpenEJB/OpenJMS etc.?
3. What services does Geronimo come with built in?
- Misleading at the moment I know. Any thoughts on what will be included
eventually to provide Servlet/EJB/JMS/OtherAPIHere? And can we/are we
distributing them?
4. How can I implement Security constaints/roles/authorisation?
5. Are there any steps I need to do to make Geronimo more secure? - Akin to disable access to 8080 in Tomcat, but for Geronimo stuff
App developer/deployer questions:
1. Are there any special config steps I'm likely to need, and how do I do
them?
- Thinking CMP config, JMS config etc. here
2. I have an EAR file, how do I deploy it?
Geronimo developer questions (for separate FAQ?):
1. How do I get involved etc. (and for others currently on Geronimo incubator page) 2. How do I get the latest version? -> BuildingAndRunning 3. I want to create an installation binary for MyFaveOS, any advice? - env vars - contributing binaries/installers to project 4. What on Earth is a GBean? Why are they different from MBeans?
This would need to be completed of course ;)
I think your questions are very important since v1.0M1 is released and would need more documentation
