Thread Name: FAQ Revamp - what should be in it?
Subject: RE: FAQ Revamp - what should be in it?
Well, Ed, I'm thinking of a combination of threads and pages - the pages for permanent information, and the threads for information that's in development. I've kept the thread setup up until now because it allowed me to update things without bugging Max. It bothered me that I lost the whole first page of the FAQ to the list of messages, but I couldn't do anything about it at the time.
So, yeah, the basic answer is that most of the FAQ will not be set up as threads.
There will be a main page and several sub-pages. I'm looking for advice on the maximum effective size of a page. I'm thinking it's no more than four screens, with the most important information on the first screen.
If anybody wants to write a section, and post it here to make it available for public review, go right ahead. I reserve the right to make use of anything anybody posts here, if I like it.
