I think you are talking about what is generally known as a FAQ. FAQs
are quite ubiquitous in the Internet. If, for example someone has a
problem with Sendmail, I think it would be better if that person would
go to the Sendmail FAQ and get involved in the Sendmail mailing list.
What I'm trying to ask without being too negative is this: Why would
you create yet another FAQ?
Can the same not be achieved by giving people the ability to search
the mailing list archives?
My digressions aside, a FAQ digested from Haifux/Linux-IL
concentrating on Israeli GNU/Linux problems would be a formidable beast. I
cannot imagine that someone would put aside the resources to distill
so much information unless it is in Wiki or some other distributed
format.
