I have noticed that the user list has been growing exponentially in the number of posts. I am finding it more and more difficult to find the time to sift through the list. I expect many others out there who could provide the needed assistance cannot. The main thing that I have noticed about gentoo web site is the lack of a user level faq. I would like to create one. I have been studying the guide-xml and it makes doc writing much easier. I have also written a perl script that scours the user-list archive and creates a XML faq page. Of course some hand editing is required. To summarize: I would like to create/maintain a user-level faq page for gentoo linux. The page will reside on gentoo's site. Content of the page will focus on the gentoo distribution. Off site links to documentation will also be provided where the question is more general to linux.
