Well let me bring in some perspective in to this discussion. When I had
the first idea of creating a FAQ based on the commonly asked questions
on the list, I was hoping there would be collabrative work among the
members of the list. Unfortunately this turned out to be the not the
outcome.

There were occasions where sompe people did send either as an article or
a more like a answer as a a collabration, yet the majority of the work
turned out to be my digging out the mailing list to find the common
questions and the replies to them. It is not only to find the common
question yet also to find the correct answer in a way that would work
out in every situation without severly changing the underlying philosphy
of SUSE and YaST. It has become a tedious job and drifted away from
staying an enjoyable hobby.  

Another aspect is my personal life and the amount of time I can devote
to the project has become limited. After so many years, I have become a
a student again and I have to put some effort into studying. One can say
my priorities have shifted a little bit.

Nevertheless, I do not like to leave things unfinished and I am doing a
major rewrite of the SuSEfirewall howto. What happens after this rewrite
I can not say.
