I do not much care for the SourceForge "doc" interface; I prefer old-fashioned static Web pages.
That said, our Web pages are becoming ever more out of date, and we need to do something... So I think I will create a "FAQ" page mostly containing links to messages from the mail archives like this one. (The theory being that this will take less time and will hold us over until I finally snap and rewrite the documentation completely.)
Other ideas are welcome.
I'm not sure how much better this would be than SF docs in your opinion, Pat, but have you considered a wiki? Granted, a wiki isn't exactly an old-fashioned static web page, but I think a community site like that could have a lot of benefit. It would allow people to post their own ideas and solutions to problems. An Unattended wiki wouldn't necessarily require much maintenance from Pat but would serve to enhance the Unattended project's stature as well as allow people to support each other in a way that is more accessible than a mailing list.
That having been said, I've seen some wiki sites that are great, and some that really stink. Putting some thought into how you set it up and what you expect to accomplish *before* you roll it out goes a long way.
I'm personally fond of BestPractical's wiki for RequestTracker software (http://wiki.bestpractical.com) and the wiki for handhelds.org (http://www.handhelds.org/z/wiki/HandheldsWiki), which could be more presentable but has lots of info.
