A basic WiKi for the purpose of FAQ is setup, now there are issues to be dealt with first, i mean the rights to edit and stuff like that. but i felt we should do something concrete first. So i put up this WiKi as a RFC. Please send you feedback and suggestion offlist. Otherwise please try and put down what you think is helpfull in the FAQ, Be reasonable, we don't want to create Mahabharat. Be very conservative and rather than explaining the detailed procedures try to point to the how tos and Other specific FAQs along with a very short explainations. Also access is open to everyone right now. We will quickly know if we can continue this or will have to put some policy on to it. Ofcourse this is not right now an official PLUG FAQ or anything. (perhaps i should change the title??) as it is yet to be approved by plug as such. i hope i didn't push any buttons here.
