Which is not updated with Q&A from the list nor posted
to the mailing list periodically.
Also, with a personal bias, I find it difficult to navigate the
FAQ-O-MATIC.
At one time, I suggested an FAQ built with questions answered
on the mailing list. It would reference resources such as the
Cederqvist and others. It would be kept on some web site
such as the FAQ-O-MATIC so that folks could get it whenever
they needed it. It would be posted periodically to the mailing
list so that newbies & other lurkers would see it go by,
hopefully before the asked their own.
If Greg thinks it would be a good idea and he (and others)
would be willing to forward their answers of FAQ's, I would
be willing to edit and compile the FAQ list, post it regularly and
keep it on a publicly accessible web site. (I would also scan
the mailing list for potential FAQ's and proactively update
the FAQ list. And, with a little reluctance, reconcile when old-timers
have different opinions on how to answer a question.)
That is what I proposed before. That offer is still open.
