It is completely unofficial, i didn't even know about it, and a brief look gives me the impression that most of the content is probably completely outdated. Besides, i haven't ever heard of most of the authors, so i doubt the content could be trusted in the first place. I'd strongly advise against using that site for anything. > though it doesn't look too active.

Beginners spreading misinformation across the web are not helping anybody. If you think something could be added to the FAQ, submit it for inclusion and have it checked. Don't publish random, unchecked stuff in random locations. > I know I've sometimes struggled with putting the pieces together where a > step-by-step "how to accomplish X" with OpenBSD would have helped.

If people who really know what they are doing prepare writeups, that can indeed be helpful. Yours, Ingo
