Except for the FAQ that José wrote a long time ago, which was a great start
if not perfect, which was basically ignored, which I think was a mistake.
Considering how little the interface has changed since 0.12, I'll bet his
FAQ could *still* be a good start. Perhaps now that the web site is in CVS,
any time we got a bunch of questions on the same feature (e.g. non-ascii
filenames) one of the developers would get fed up and add it to the FAQ,
and then we could have the pleasure of responding "RTFFAQ".
The list archives may be a good place to look in theory, but the search
capability is kind of primitive, and it may be hard to word a query
correctly. A FAQ (with a php3ized list linking to the questions) is a much
better solution. (The list archives will still be useful for less F AQs.)
