Dear all,

as the same questions keep cropping up, I am thinking about starting a FAQ. I know there is a very short one by Clemens on the web, but it do is of limited value. Would there be Wiki-Space avaliable, e.g. at redhat? Otherwise I could post it once a month and add any answers people wish to contribute.

Great idea, Arno. There is so much useful information in this channel, and it would benefit from being structured. My preference would be for a wiki, if that's possible.

yes, this is perfect idea.

There is a FAQ page on google procject home, or we can have something like this (this is e.g cluster FAQ http://sources.redhat.com/cluster/wiki/FAQ )

I think the FAQ page on Google code Wiki is a start. If I can get access, I can serve as FAQ editor and add structure and individual articles. Who do I talk to for access?

Yes, please do so. And ideally, make it also available as a single-page document; I don't know what you have planned, but please, no wiki for the FAQ - thanks.

Current plan is Wiki and Text, ideally from the same source. I need to find out how to do this best. Probably just a simple markup-stripper and SVN commit for the source.
