As long as we are discussing FAQ improvements... I'd really like to see both the FAQ and Handbook use a system like the PHP 3.0 Annotated Manual (http://ca.php.net/manual/). Their system allows visitors to add their own notes to each section of the manual. Having the user notes available has made the current version of the manual much more useful, as well as providing a lot of great material for the official maintainers to merge in as appropriate. I believe that system would do wonders for the completeness of the FreeBSD FAQ and Handbook. Check it out!
