Hi All

I would like to formally volunteer for the role of FAQ 
maintainer (unless someone else desperately wants the job).

My thoughts so far:
- FAQ should be maintained in XML format
- Master XML document should live on Sourceforge so that
  it can live on in the event of the proverbial bus strike
- More 'accessible' HTML version should exist on a web site

I have started to work out a framework of what should be in 
the FAQ but it hasn't even got to the 'release early' point
yet.

I'd welcome contributions including:
- ideas on areas that need to be covered
- specific questions that need to be answered
- answers to some of those questions
- links to useful resources

In response to Daniel's original message, I'd like to agree 
that this is a remarkably civilised mailing list and observe
that we've managed to get by with an out-of-date FAQ for 
quite some time precisely because of the great bunch of folks 
who take part.  In the event that I deliver an updated FAQ I 
hope we can continue without descending into RTFM (RTFFAQ?) 
jibes.

Regards
Grant
