% Thanks, I appreciate that. I've been waiting a moment before answering,
% waiting for others to take a deep breath and say "yes", too, but it
% seems you are the only one.

I'd love to contribute, but not only am I very busy but also very new.  I
could probably contribute a lot of *questions*, but this FAQ is probably
meant to also have *answers* :-)

% 
% I know there are good books, and I especially like Paul's books on
% MySQL. There are good books by German authors on MySQL, too.

I'm happy to hear of it; I may have to go out and pick it up!


% 
% But, then again, refering to books will bring up the same sort of
% answers people on this list are complaing about ("hey, stupid, go buy
% book xyz and read it before asking silly questions"). With a FAQ, this

Well, it would be nice to have a listing of readers' favorite and most
helpful books so that newbies know *what* to go and pick out, for one
thing; I don't think that book references are all bad!


% could be "You will find the answer for your question at
% www.mysql.com/faq/answer_xyz.html".

Yes; that's very good.


% 
% > So, any thoughts? Where do we go from here?
% 
% Nowhere, I suppose :(

Wait; quite on the contrary!  I think that good work can start (granted,
it would probably start faster if I jumped in to contribute more, but...)
right now!


% 
% Maybe some of the folks at MySQL AB will read this and come up with a
% database structure for the FAQ on MySQL.com and user accounts for you
% and me (and maybe others, once this thing has started).

Why should it have to be there?  Let anyone with a site set it up and get
it going and see if readers will even care about it, and *then* perhaps
have it move to mysql.com later...
