It would be nice if anybody could contribute. This would spread out the load
and perhaps make a more complete FAQ.
Is it possible to have source for the FAQ posting on one machine (maybe agate?)
and allow people to contribute as they feel the need? Anyone could
download a copy, change it, and then upload it. We would need some type of
automated revision archiving system like SCCS of RSC so that the occasional
mistake can be backed out.
The periodic posting to *.announce could even be automated (actually, this
could be done even if the FAQ were managed by a single individual instead of
by the net).
