I don't think we are talking about "a wiki". We are talking about devoting _portions_ of the _existing_ emacs wiki to discussing Windows-specific issues as the current (but not up to date) FAQ document already does. The structure of the wiki is hierarchical. That structure does not preclude including sections very similar to those of the current FAQ. Much of the structure for including Windows-specific articles is already present in today's wiki. I see the coexistence in the wiki of "a wider variety of content" (beyond answers to the FAQs) as a virtue, not a drawback. I see no reason why a wiki cannot have FAQ pages with lists of frequently asked questions for various contexts (emacs on Windows not being the only one) along with links to the wiki pages where those questions are answered. To me, the normal sort of FAQ format seems unduly restrictive. Combining the approaches would allow the same documentation pages to be used in both a reference mode and a FAQ mode. I think that such efficiency, along with the collective approach to maintenance, improves the chances of the documentation staying complete and up to date. Regards, David V.
