Pene and I have been talking about de-doing the FAQ. It will consist of one page with a site map/permathread list, and basic information, with an indes to other pages or thread with more complete information.

I suppose the main page should have a size limit. How long do you think is appropriate? I'm guessing people don't want to scroll down more than about three or maybe four screens, and the most important information should be at the top.

OK, so what should be on the main page?
Here's what I think, mostly downsized editions of what we have now:

• Brief welcome and invitation to membership with link to more info
  
• Site map and PermaThread Index
  
• Search instructions, like what we have
  
• Explicit Lyrics Alert
  
• Index to subsections/other FAQ pages
  
  
  • Benefits of membership, features of Mudcat
    
  • login instructions / handling cookie problems
    
  • Rules of Conduct
    
  • Tech and HTML Guide
    
  • Digital Tradition Info
    
    
    • Downloading
      
    • Searching
    
    
  • How to Post lyrics & tunes

So, what else?
