- Write and post a monthly "Mini Squeak FAQ" to the mailing list
For one thing, this FAQ would help many beginners to find information faster (all the mini FAQ has to provide is pointers to URLs answering the questions). For another thing it could be "brought to you by the Squeakfoundation" thus raising the visibility of the SqF and establish it as a central and known entity in Squeakland.
In any case, I had some mild interest in volunteering to work on the above item. (I wouldn't mind a co-volunteer if anyone else were interested... I guess it depends on whether this would really just be a mini-FAQ or a more complete Squeak FAQ.)
I suppose a logical next step in volunteering for a project like this would be to set up a page on the SqF wiki to discuss the basic content of the project and how to implement it...?
As I like pragmatism I say go for it! But this will raise another question I guess - will you/we then move the FAQ stuff already present at the minnow Swiki? Duplication is bad... :-)
regards, G�ran

My techie geeky suggestion is to create a way of generating a flat email FAQ from the Minnow Swiki FAQ. Generation becomes a distributed activity, and distribution is running a small script once a month.
