I agree 100% with everything you said. I just wanted to mention that if
you find frequent questions that should addressed in the manual
pages/docs, or error messages, please let us know so we can add them
there too. I am sure there are many that I have missed.
I have taken a minimalist approach to the FAQ, partially because I have
not concentrated on it. I am looking forward to a better, more
comprehensive FAQ. I have been particularly lacking in adding FAQ items
for novice questions.
