[Coco] We need an FAQ

[Brian Blake]

I wouldn't even know where to begin with an FAQ compiled from this mailing list. There have been so many good questions asked and answered here, I'd think the best thing to do would be to make the archives searchable. 

After that, an good FAQ could be started on coco3.com, as there's already a good bit of archived data there, and it's searchable already. Though it's not as friendly as the forums used to be, the information is there. Certainly though, main topics that get asked here a lot do center around NitrOS-9/OS-9, various hardware and troubleshooting questions (I'm notoriously guilty of these), programming help, and general CoCo history do seem to come up quite often (if my memory serve me correctly...)

I can append a very brief FAQ, together with a link to a full FAQ, to the subscription response message, and include a link on the regular list information page.

But somebody's gotta write the FAQ. :)

Perhaps one of the folks with Wikis installed might develop the FAQ jointly?
