Let's put it like this: Should someone submit a patch to that end, I'm
going to approve/install it.
However, I don't expect it to be really very useful, as I'd hope to reduce
the FAQ quite a bit further by moving relevant parts somewhere else (For
example, there ought to be exactly *no* install documentation in the FAQ!)
and end up with a much shorter and relatively static FAQ.
So, if anyone has time to donate, either short term or on a continual
base, I think I can come up with other tasks I'd be glad someone to
assume. :-)
