Hmmm... I shudder to bring up this topic but......

I have yet to see a FAQ for this group, or at least a comprehensive one.
I know that a number of partial FAQs are floating around, and I want to know
what you guys think about putting together a definitive collection.  There
should still be more than one FAQ; one just for IBM-PC stuff (graphics like the
VGA and its tweaked modes, joysticks, pointer to sound card sources), one for
other systems of the same sort (Amiga, Mac, Apple II, C-64, etc.), one for 
globally usefull stuff (LOS, map storage, basic AI), and maybe even one for
the "how to I program the Nintendo/Sega/Atari system?" people.  Is someone
working on such a beast or do I <*shudder*> have to volunteer.  I can probably
handle the IBM specific FAQ with some help from others who feel generous.  How
would we handle distribution of the FAQ?  email? ftp site? regular posting?

Feedback is appreciated, either by e-mail or posting.  If you have something
just for me, then e-mail to save bandwidth on the group.

Dreading the replies,
