The current location of the FAQ is prominent in search results. That is valuable and worth preserving. But the current FAQ contents are out of date. They would need a lot of work to update/correct them. Although the FAQ's are presented in a way that is OK for the user, the static HTML source is structured in a way that will be painful to maintain. Getting a cleaner structure, for example using HTML definition lists (<dl>) would be easier and could be maintained via the CMS web interface. There is another set of FAQ's on the documentation wiki: http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/FAQ These also appear to be unmaintained. But I think the wiki version would be easier to maintain. So one possible resolution could be: 1) Take anything of use from the FAQ's at http://www.openoffice.org/faq.html and copy them into new FAQ items on the wiki 2) Update the other FAQ's on the wiki 3) Add new items to the wiki FAQ (like the iPAD question) 4) Delete the old FAQ directory and replace with a single page that directs the reader to the wiki FAQ's. -Rob -Rob > Regards, > Andrea.
