Originally I was thinking in terms of individual submissions to bugzilla listing that or other question which should be included in FAQ. However since there seems to be quite a few people interested in getting this done I suppose some coordination can help. Hereby I announce a call for FAQ submissions. Shortly I will submit a bug to bugs.gentoo.org and announce its number here. Bugzilla is a nice place to collect independent submissions IMHO, a= s it provides a minimalistic forum-like functionality. Please submit your Qs&As there. Somebogy, who will volonteer will combine the question into single file and will [try to] keep it up to date with new submissions (quite likely that would be me, unless somebody has an itch for editorial work :-). I willl wait few days= and=20 then assume this role if there are no volonteers). Regular builds of this= =20 file (2-3 day period in the beginning makes sense) will get attached to t= he=20 same bug for an easy incorporation into existing documents.
