One question to Bruno : what is the official iText website one should
use to promote online support? I at least can see 3 :
- 1t3xt.com
- 1t3xt.info
- itextpdf.com

The latter is the newest, and seems to be the most complete. Therefore
I would rather publish links pointing there, and only there:
- FAQ : I couldn't find a FAQ on itextpdf.com
- New Book : http://itextpdf.com/book/
- JavaDoc: http://api.itextpdf.com/
- Examples : http://itextpdf.com/book/examples.php
- Downloads : http://itextpdf.com/download.php
- Source Browsing link : itextpdf.com points directly to sourceforge,
that's quite ok for me

I would also add:
- General support page : http://itextpdf.com/support.php
- Keywords : http://itextpdf.com/themes/keywords.php
- a link to a table showing clearly what iText is NOT made for (e.g.
converting from doc to pdf, from pdf to html, and so on). many ideas
can be taken from the "old" FAQ you pointed to.

That would be awesome to gather all these "rules" in a single text, a
kind of short version of
< http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html >
