I haven't seen an Epoch FAQ yet.  If one in fact doesn't exist, I'd be
willing to put one together in my spare (!) time.

Under the assumption that one doesn't yet exist, please drop me a line
(marca@ncsa.uiuc.edu) with any volunteer questions and answers, just
questions, or just answers.  Possible topics: what is Epoch and where
can I get it, how do I stop the damn windows from raising all over the
place, how do I get lots of colors and fonts interactively, how do I
change underlining during region selection to something else, what
Epoch-specific Elisp packages are out there, when is Emacs 19 coming,
what will Emacs 19 and Epoch have in common, ????

BTW, quick answers to a couple of recent queries:

FTP server for epoch is cs.uiuc.edu (128.174.252.1) in
/pub/epoch-files/epoch.

To stop the window autoraising, just do:

(setq auto-raise-screen nil)

To stop the autoraising for regular windows but to keep it for the
minibuffer (i.e., minibuffer is raised whenever pointer enters an
Epoch window, but the window isn't), do one of:

1.  (setq auto-raise-screen nil)
    (push (function (lambda () (raise-screen (minibuf-screen)))) 
      *select-screen-hook*)

2.  (setq auto-raise-screen 'minibuf); Epoch 4.0 new feature
