organize a new, all-encompassing online LEGO FAQ to replace the old RTL FAQ.

I would be against a single, all-encompassing FAQ, since I would like to be
able to access a single document that is the Mindstorms FAQ.

I'm not against a database of questions from separate FAQs, however, or the
sharing of questions between FAQs.  If the database is the all-encompassing
online FAQ, which exists alongside the Mindstorms FAQ, I'm happy with that.
If a single, separate Mindstorms FAQ can somehow be easily extracted from a
single all-encompassing database, I'm happy with that too.  But I do not
want to navigate or search various parts of a global FAQ to get to and/or
find Mindstorms stuff.

I don't know if this is what you or others were thinking of.

Then again, this is my opinion, and since I do not plan to directly
contribute to the FAQ, maybe I should have no say in this.

(...) I agree. However, a Master FAQ which references other specific FAQ would be really useful. (26 years ago, 4-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)

ok I haven't finished reading this thread so please forgive any duplication.
