Why don't we make a FAQ Auto-responder?
It could scan subjects and first ten lines for
a FAQ, and if it finds one, send the FAQ answer.
So it wouldn't cope with the silliest questions,
but should get most

Actually its better to include the urls to the archive and the faq in the
email

That's a very bold statement - can you support it?
Yup - a decent faq and a reminder work rather well for most FAQ's assuming
the users read some emails
Also I can reccomend a well trained infobot on irc - the
perl mongers have
several very well informed infobots that do things like
whois and weather
lookups as well as factoids on all thing perl related (monty
python, buffy
the vampire slayer, photos of drunken perl mongers and camels)

Please consult with the london.pm PerlMongers group. Or better yet, with
sunnydale.pm.
Yup - a decent faq and a reminder work rather well for most FAQ's assuming
the users read some emails before posting and didn't subscribe just to ask a
question. An auto-responder would be unpopular and put new users off, as
I don't think there is a need for Yet-Another-FAQ. I think people
I have to say, that I like the idea of an auto-responder for the following
reasons.
1) People will always post a question to the list with out researching.
2) There is nothing anybody can do about #1.
3) A FAQ with every answer in the world does no good if people do not check
it before
that people will respond, anyway, sometimes 24-48 hours after the
fact, because they haven't read the FAO-server's reply.
It happens here, with our manual FAQ-servers.
Not to criticize the FAQ-answerers unduly, but IMHO it won't cut down on
the traffic noticeably, and it may paradoxically encourage FAQs
Title: RE: FAQ
HEY! In my own defense:
-- I only did that once
-- I was referring to Time::Local (not localtime :)
-- I am a bonehead
-- it really is counter-intuitive to have the month 0-based
and the day and year 1-based. Especially since the months
are commonly referred to by their 1
