Hmm, but the text of the RTL FAQ is copyrighted by its owner, isn't it?

Also, I wonder if the reason it wasn't kept up-to-date is because it covers
such a wide spectrum of stuff.  Hmmmmmm.  Hmmmmm.  Hmm.

Say,

Might it be better if, over time, there arose more specialized FAQ's for
each ng, as appropriate...?  That makes less work for the owner/maintainer
of any given FAQ, and easier/safer for someone to hand off a FAQ to someone
else if it becomes too involved for their schedule.  (Someone might be the
maintainer of 3 FAQ's and want to hand of 1 of them and keep 2.)  It also
pre-separates major content portions in a way well-suited to reference on
web pages, yet in a way that they can be combined into one larger document
by special scripts.  A little coordination would be necessary to ensure a
consistent format, but that shouldn't be too tough...

Just a thought...

With regards to rtl's FAQ we should leave it alone so we don't irk someone.

But your idea sounds okay. One FAQ indigenous to each ng.

Todd, since I know virtually nothing about servers (other than they serve
information), how do you keep the url of an FAQ persistent in/on an ng so that
people don't have to inquire as to its whereabouts? I realize that this could
easily be done on the lugnet.com/news/ page that displays the major groups, but
not everyone will see that page will they? A bigger problem is FAQ's for the
lugnet.loc.* ng's, if they need FAQ's at all.

Do what you can, but behave yourself.

We'll have more, right after this.

(...) The standard thing to do would be to post them periodically to the group they represent. There is an 'Expires:' NNTP header for setting something to persist on the server for a long time, and a 'Supercedes:' header for posting a new message (...)
