How about (cross-)posting the french TeX FAQ to news.answers?
Then the FAQ will be automatically put onto the FAQ archive server
"rtfm.mit.edu" and will be on a large number of other servers
mirroring this FAQ archive.

Don't forget that {news,*}.answers is moderated and you have to get
the approval of the moderators before crossposting to {news,*}.answers!


This was the way I have used for the german TeX FAQ of de.comp.tex
(CTAN:usergrps/dante/de-tex-faq/).  Its length is around 200KB and it
gets posted to de.comp.tex monthly.  Additionally I post a short(!)
reminder about this FAQ to de.comp.tex _and_ comp.text.tex weekly.
