Hi Sherrie, I think you bring up a good point. The way I see it is that
since the list is out in the public to be used by the public, using the
content from someone on list shouldn't be of any issue. My concern is
that the questions and answers be correct. meaning, if the question is
how to enable or disable the screen curtain, the answer shouldn't be to
do a 2-finger double-tap. I'm also further thinking that names need not
be a part of the FAQ. Just the questions and answers with the disclaimer
that this doesn't constitute a concrete answer and that the answer might
be outdated unless updated from time to time. Which brings up another
problem of updating. How often should this be updated and by whom? I'm
looking at a FAQ software to be added onto my site and seeing if it
allows me to add users who can update certain categories.
Honestly I don't know if this is a good solution, or if it will even
work at all. So, I'm willing to give it the good'ol Boyscout try.

I have a question about sending in questions and answers for the FAQ. I
keep copies of pertinent portions of list emails in a folder for my own
use and I could come up with questions and put answers that have been
given on the list. Is this appropriate since the material is not
necessarily my own. I don't have the list members names to attribute
the answers as I only saved the pertinent sentences or paragraphs and
often combined many answers into one.
So is it worth my time to consolidate the information and send in
material for the page without being in danger of offending list members
or have them think I stole some information. I certainly don't want
credit or blame for any questions or answers.
Also, will the questions be posted frequently so we can check on which
questions have already been answered sufficiently? I would hate to
spend time putting together entries and find that someone else has
already handled that subject.
I am sending this to the list instead of privately since others might
have similar hesitation or strong feelings about this

Subject: viphone faq - Was Re: Tat Tap See
Hi Lauren and everyone else reading this. I've been thinking of putting
together an faq list on one of my sites which would contain commonly
asked questions of iPhones, iOS, or maybe even specific apps. I've asked
this of list members before, but only 1 or 2 people wrote in with
suggestions. The thing is, if I put up the list, I don't want to be the
one who comes up with all the questions and answers. I'm willing to host
that FAQ on my site and get things set up, but I don't want to have to
update things when they change since there are many who have more time
with this.
So I ask again to those list members who might want to help contribute,
send me privately a question, and answer together in the same email, and
I'll start putting together a list of things. This is in no way meant to
take away from what is already out there, meaning places like
Applevis.com or other resources.
If you do send me questions and answers to hopefully be included, be
sure to write viphone faq in the subject line.
Don't send them to the list either. Thanks.

A better way of researching a question is by compiling a pool of go-to
resources and you will not have to ask the list at all. This will
probably eliminate many, many of the questions asked here on almost a
weekly cycle. Luckily for IOS there's lots of information out there.
Also, if you are going to give a presentation on the iPhone, why would
you not want to conduct lots of research whether podcast or otherwise.
Who knows what else you may not know or not even know to consider in
regards to other apps or features you will be presenting. In other
words, though you may not like it, information of all kinds is always
great information.
