Yes. I finished converting the old FAQ and then got one of the people who were new to SPF that submitted to the RT to collaborate on good answers to newbie questions. As a result, the new.openspf.org FAQ is, IMO, substantially better than the current one.
BTW, we've already made the decision to mix new/old web site content. Go to www.openspf.org and click on the forums link. It'll take you to the new.openspf.org forums page.
