Just one tip:
Why not use a wiki-Engine to creaate/maintain a faq, like e.g.

I recommend phpwiki (http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/) This way users can

Awesome! Okay, Dimi, you are in charge.
You've got Keith and Tom to help you out.
We have a request from Jer for SGML; my guess
is that if you can get the SGML together,
