I'll work on the FAQ as well. I'm almost certain that the FAQ needs updating. I'll put it on my "To Do" list, and slowly get to it. Once I get closer to finishing, I'll post a list of pages "open for discussion" and "open for comment" so that we can talk about what things should be added (and where). Yes, the FAQ pages do need some work.</div>
<div><br></div><div>If anyone else can think of some quick "newbie" questions (commonly asked questions) please let me know. I'll jot them down, and work on adding those pages as well, with a nice navigation page/menu back to the main FAQ & support area page.</div>

While you are doing the truly Herculean task of fixing the Wiki could<br>you please make sure that<br>A there is a site map somewhere on the site (oh maybe on a page named<br>Site Map??)<br>B that every page present links to something (like related topics and<br>
then to the navbar level topics??)<br>C Sanity and brevity need to be watch words for the page names (hint<br>if the name of the page is more than 10% of the content of the page<br>something is wrong)<br><br>-- <br>Robert L Martin<br>
