I too think this is a very good idea.  I propose that we call the VFAQ
simply the FAQ, and the current FAQ the "archive" or some such.  In fact,
I have a list of the most requested questions from the archive which I
will happily provide to the maintainer of the FAQ.  In order to simplify
things operationally, if you're interested in maintaining the FAQ, please
let me know.  If there are several volunteers, I will try to adjudicate
between them.  If there are no volunteers, I will attempt to arm-twist
certain regular contributors whose names come to mind ...

By the way, I would also like to solicit suggestions from regular readers
about what should be on the FAQ.  I will pass these suggestions on to the
eventual maintainer.  Please email these suggestions to me.  The already
posted ones will of course be considered.
