Well, I think we are jumping the gun here just a little bit.  This is 
not the SMF FAQ, I don't think the SMF team had all reviewed it; they 
may decide ultimately this is not suitable.  I started out calling the 
file smf-faq.txt because I had to call it something, and I had already 
too many foo.txt.  It's sent to the discussion list as a Q&A, I think 
Liane and Bernd were discussing making a community-run FAQ and I didn't 
want to take that imprimature.  So far this is just my notes on SMF.  It 
can be used and put up anywhere anyone likes, but I don't think it 
should be called the SMF FAQ until the SMF team say so.

I think it would be great if I Google <some Solaris feature> + FAQ and 
get directed to an opensolaris page, and just one page.  Not to advocate 
that  opensolaris should have a monopoly on FAQs, but the alternative is 
worse for a first-time user of <some Solaris feature> when he finds 8 
different but yet familiar FAQs and has to grok them all to determine 
what's authoritative and useful.

Put the Q&A up anywhere you like, but the SMF FAQ should ultimately be 
on the SMF OpenSolaris community page, IMO.  There is already a good 
precedent with the Zones FAQ done by Jeff.

BTW a couple of months back I started doing an S10 FAQ compilation and 
eventually gave up.  There's just too much to cover and it changes all 
the time.  The distributed but accessible way (feature FAQ on feature 
discussion alias) is good, I think.
