Another cross-posting since this is relevant to all three lists...again, apologies to folks who get this multiple times. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I'm volunteering to start a FAQ for the lists.

Understandable :) I'm hip-deep in it right now, as well. > Deb, would it be possible for their to be a [EMAIL PROTECTED] or similar > mail address, routable to whomever is maintaining the FAQ at the time? > Perhaps techtalk-FAQ, grrltalk-FAQ, etc, might be wiser - I can foresee > the FAQs getting extensive enough to need to be split. :/ I will set up techtalk-faq@, issues-faq@, and grrltalk-faq@ addresses as soon as I know which address(es) to which they should be forwarding. Jenn: which list are you interested in working on? Is there anyone else interested in working on the others? I think doing separate FAQs would be appropriate now, actually, rather than splitting one into three later. Questions that are universal to all lists could be maintained in a "general" list FAQ as well, and included with each individual list FAQ. > Anyone have any other suggestions re FAQs? > > Anyone have a vote on whether it should be HTML & stored on the linuxchix > site (if Deb is agreeable) or plaintext and regularly mailed (spammy)? I have no problem storing an HTML copy on the site, and I think sending a copy to the appropriate list once a month would be okay, too. It's not really spam so much as it is a preventative measure. Overall it should _cut down_ on the amount of email, because newcomers will be able to easily get the answers they need. Perhaps a semi-monthly posting would even be appropriate (?). = deb (thanks Jenn, for thinking of this :) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ************ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linuxchix.org
