FAQ crew,

I've gathered 23 questions for the FAQ so far (1), and stuffed them into a
holding patteren until the header format is closer to being finalized.

In the mean time:

I feel that we should allow an Originator header, to give credit towards
those who pose questions for the FAQ.  Without the questions, the FAQ would
just be a FA.  :-P

The header should be optional, for the cases where a previously-existing FAQ
is assimilated, or other cases where this data was not kept.  It should
probably follow the style of the Revision header.

e.g. (from an actual FAQ item! :-):

<FILE NAME="/faq/uncategorized/016.en.faq">
Subject: What are "Samsonite" Legos?
Location: /uncategorized/
Content-Language: en
Originator: G. Crisp, 1999-01-27
Revision: Jasper Janssen, 1999-01-27

<P>It appears Samsonite (of briefcase fame) has imported/made Lego
products in the US under licence before TLG actually got out there.
lesse, they just had a 25-yr asnniversary of Real Lego, so that makes
to 73, probably from somewhere in the 60s.

Cheers,

Another header...? I want to be able to make context-specific notes on the FAQ items, which will not be exposed in the final output. I'm thinking of something like a Comment: header, which the parser will discard during processing. Cheers, - jsproat (25 years ago, 28-Apr-99, to lugnet.faq)

(...) Gesundheit! (...) Dude! All right! (...) In cases like this, it's perfectly OK to correct typos and misuses of trademarks (especially TLG trademarks). That is to say, this question could just as well be re-written as: Subject: What is (...) (25 years ago, 30-Apr-99, to lugnet.faq)

Todd, I'm geared to start snarfing the RTL Auction & Shipping FAQ, to start giving form to the LUGNET FAQ. (LUGFAQ? :-) I am torn between two data formats, though it should be relatively easy to switch from one to the other. I think that whatever (...) (25 years ago, 23-Apr-99, to lugnet.faq)
