Hello again,

I would say: ebooks might be a good idea for publishing and collecting
information. But they are some kind of 'static'.

What I have in mind is a dynamic system everyone here can use - just in the
second s/he needs the information, without downloading any compilation,
installing it and getting accustomed to it.

And, most important: we need the most recent information available.

And in my opinion (i have worked on a FutureBASIC-based
'FAQ-&-sourcecode-by-email'-system for a couple of months (years?) now -
without much success), a dynamic website (or multiple websites) would be
the best answer for the task.

[just clicked into jonathan's 'FAQ-sheets' for the first time]

...wow! very nice done! I like this.

Tedd was right: thats about the way I imagined it to be. So: send your
(list-) answered questions to jonathan (if he is willing to take this job)
to have them included into the FAQ-sheets ;o) Make jonathans life easy by
preformatting your contributions for quick inclusion.

TIA,
chris
