Should we have a FAQ?

[mwaters]

I started this thread some time ago and I have collected some encouraging and some less encouraging comments ...

This is a GREAT start! Thank you for this. :-)

I can't think of anything right now to add. However, as for the text being all on one screen, I assume you mean each point rather than the entire FAQ

On the other hand, the FAQ text could be limited, with links pointing to more detailed threads, both existing and yet-to-be created. Some answers are going to be difficult to put a tight limit the text length.

• One thing that could (should?) be done is make the points stand out by good text formatting.
  

1. A brief summary at the top, a "tl;dr" if you will.
   
2. Each main point, subject, etc. in larger and/or bold text. Paragraphs below that in smaller, plain text could be indented for easier reading.
   

I have a list of useful links to various threads here that I've been meaning to post here. Anyway this is my $0.02 worth for now. Thanks again!
