Does anyone keep a list of which questions are currently most frequently
asked on -questions? Sorry, I don't know what's been done in the past. With
a whole bunch of people soon to start asking about installing 2.2.6, it
could be a good time to gather a small number of common questions in one
place that we can point to quickly, and later feed this into the FAQ proper.
The workload could be shared (identifying questions, writing answers,
updating the document). In one sense this is duplication of effort, but it
could be a quick way to take some of the load off -questions while awaiting
a more organised effort on the FAQ. Hmmm?
