The sheer number of irrelevant questions might make the FAQ completely useless. I think the key is to allow several people access to modifying the FAQ content. I don't know if Tom is open to this idea. In trying to facilitate a more up-to-date Netrek home page, I've been considering using a content management system like Zope to allow additional maintainers for sections of the site. For example, it'd be great if I can find somebody to update and maintain Netrek hockey related pages under the www.netrek.org umbrella. And to get some help finishing up the ever-in-progress player's guide. -- Dave Ahn | ahn at vec.wfubmc.edu | Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced.
