RE: [TSVN] An FAQ about the FAQ

You're talking about the 'paper' doc FAQ aren't you? No, we should drop it
and reference to the online version. I don't care whether we have that on
sourceforge or on berlios. It's a matter of minutes for me to move that from
one host to the other.

Password is under way.

So am I and I dropped the German FAQs completely.

For exactly this...

...and this reason.

FYI: The FAQ is now organized as a drupal 'book'. That means that each
person with 'content editor' privileges can modify the book's content.
Drupal uses a 'node' concept for it's content. Each book page is a node and
nodes can be grouped hierarchically which gives us a nice way of structuring
the FAQ. I have done a bit in the ssh section of the faq.

All english FAQ entries form the berlios.de FAQ have been imported yesterday
evening. The ones I have already reviewed are marked as 'published'. If you
go to the 'content->books' section, you can filter all the book pages by
their status. When you filter the 'unpublished' ones, you'll see the work
which is still to do.

Use only 'filtered html' content for now. This format is much better
readable than the stuff produced by phpmyfaq after you've got rid of all the
unnecessary tabs and html tags.

If you feel, like you need a new chapter to group pages, just add another
book page and hang it into the 'right' place in the tree.

The sort order of book pages is determined first by their 'weight' and then
alphabetically. 'light' pages float up and 'heavy' pages sink to the bottom.

Cheers
