OK.
For the moment, please hold on converting the FAQ to DocBook. As you
should've seen I've just sent out what is hopefully the final proposal
for the doc/* directory structure.
I'll give it a couple of days for the discussion about that to happen
(more if it's an active discussion). Say, by Sunday. Assuming people
are in agreement, I'll lay down the LINUXDOC_2_DOCBOOK* tags on the
FAQ, and kickstart the conversion to DocBook.
At the same time as this, the FAQ team can be revising the FAQ. However,
remember the golden rule.
Do not make content changes at the same time as you make formatting
changes.
Do them in two separate commits instead. This will make it much easier
for myself and the language translation teams to track what you're doing.
The FAQ conversion can then happen. The FAQ is a much simpler document
than the Handbook, so it shouldn't take the year or so that the Handbook
took :-)
