The problem with a FAQ is the same as the problem with freshmeat.net, and with all of the other resources (like the docs found at ldp.org). Newbies don't know that they exist, so they don't find them. I suppose there could be a weekly posting of a FAQ like on some lists, but then there'd be a whole bunch of those things archived (or another thing to keep track of for the archive/list admins - exceptions are always bad if they can be avoided).
Basically, it seems to me that we already have about the best solution possible - a bunch of experts and people with experience in several areas that watch a list and respond to questions when someone finally finds the list...

But then if they are on the list they only need look at the bottom of every message to see the link to the FAQ site.
There you go - the problem's already solved. :) --Danny
