I encourage others to commit to the FAQ.html file in CVS.  The only
unique thing I do is to generate the flat file in /docs, and that can be
done at release time.

The only unique thing I do there is to generate an HTML and throw it on
the web site;  again, others are encouraged to update it.  I do like
having a file that is small enough to be readable in a short time, but
the right bug-tracking system could do that.
