Folks,

  A new FAQ has been submitted to the pit-manager FAQ server and
  should appear soon.  For future reference, instructions for
  obtaining the faq via anonymous ftp and mail are included at the end
  of this message.

  Things of note:

  o patches and sources are now relegated to end of faq in hopes of
    making the faq more accessible.

  o ftp sites substantially updated, but could still use work (with
    your help!).
