Hi khoros group!
I've noticed there still seem to be a lot of posts coming up on the
group which are basically FAQs.  This means that lots of bandwidth
gets wasted on the net, and, more important, the khoros group have to
answer lots of stuff when they really want to forge ahead so as 
get khoros2 finished and delivered to users a.s.a.p   [ 8-) ]

I think this is partly because the FAQ is not immediately visible
on pprg.eece.unm.edu.  You have to change into various directories
etc.  

May I suggest that the FAQ documents be placed in the /pub/khoros
directory.  I feel that putting README.first documents in /pub
and /pub/khoros, and using the ftp banner messages would also be
worthwhile.  These messages/files could also point users to the
FAQs.  If users can get those initial leads straight away, then
they won't use the group so much to ask things they can find in the
FAQ. 

What do you think?
