Hm, he never meant to be a "maintainer" of the FAQ as far as I remember.
If he will not respond for some time we have to get either a new FAQ
or more simple decide to update his. Of course it is copyrighted blabla
but I think one could copy bits and pieces of it without annoying
Matthew at all. BTW if it comes to that I'd be glad if a native English
speaker volunteers for the "writing" part. It is nice when such a text
is not written in that weird "international English".

I think it's time for an update. And I would favour the idea
of naming someone who maintains it this time. Should be easier
than maintaining a link list on a web site.

Finally: the mini FAQ is a good idea in any case. Colin, you seem to
take over some tasks of the late Colin Douthwaite. :)
