Exactly!  Curators of ACEDB databases are encouraged to design
their own paragraphs in the FAQ, and to send in updates.  If
you have a presence on the World-Wide Web be sure to include
URL's.

Updated FAQ's are posted to this conference around the second
week of each month.  Here is part of the introduction for the
FAQ, which tells you how to get a copy:

    This document will be posted monthly to the BIOSCI newsgroup
    bionet.software.acedb and to USENET conference news.answers.
    It is intended to be used as an index to ACEDB databases and
    to information about the database software.
 
    The latest version of the ACEDB FAQ should be available via
    anonymous ftp at machine net.bio.net (134.172.2.69) as
    file pub/BIOSCI/ACEDB/ACEDB.FAQ or at rtfm.mit.edu
    (18.70.0.209) as pub/usenet.news.answers/acedb-faq. Answer 3
    demonstrates a sample FTP session.  If you only have
    electronic mail, the FAQ can be retrieved from
    mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu.

    There is an HyperText Markup Language (HTML) version of this
    document available on the World Wide Web:
