I don't think I will go quite that far -- I think we need some kind of FAQ for the very general issues ("how do I get FreeBSD", "what is the current version", ...) But "I can't get my FazzBuTron 2000 to work" doesn't belong in there. OTOH right now we don't have any canonical place for that stuff. (The Wiki did not take off like I had hoped). mcl
