- I too think this is a very good idea. I propose that we call the VFAQ
- simply the FAQ, and the current FAQ the "archive" or some such. In fact,
- I have a list of the most requested questions from the archive which I
- will happily provide to the maintainer of the FAQ. In order to simplify
- things operationally, if you're interested in maintaining the FAQ, please
- let me know. If there are several volunteers, I will try to adjudicate
- between them. If there are no volunteers, I will attempt to arm-twist
- certain regular contributors whose names come to mind ...
-
- By the way, I would also like to solicit suggestions from regular readers
- about what should be on the FAQ. I will pass these suggestions on to the
- eventual maintainer. Please email these suggestions to me. The already
- posted ones will of course be considered.
