[ Note: This mail was originally sent to -doc, as I have only received one answer so far I'm resending to -devel in order to get more people to help out with this documentation effort ] The Debian FAQ [0] has been, unfortunately, unmaintained for quite some time and needs a thorough review. I updated information in the FAQ in preparation for the sarge release when I noticed that it was out of date and incomplete [1]. After the release I've been fixing some other obsolete sections and fixing some of its long-standing bugs, uploading new revisions of the doc-debian package in the process. It would be really great if other DDs could review the FAQ fully and point out: a- missing FAQ items, that is, things that people commonly ask about Debian that are not there and we should write about. b- obsolete FAQ items, i.e., items in the FAQ that are no longe relevant and should be removed or rewritten. c- incorrect FAQ items, i.e., items that should be rewritten or fixed because they contain innacurate statements. I've fixed some of a), b) or c) with the help of Santiago Vila who is doing the Spanish translation but more peer review is needed here. Patches, of course, are prefered, but if you don't have time for a patch, comments are also welcome. Yes, I know there are some documents which are better than the FAQ for some issues (such as the Installation Manual or the Debian reference). But there are several reasons why I believe this document should be kept up to date: it's included in the official Debian CDs (it's one of the few documents provided there), it's included in all the official Debian mirrors (under /doc/), and many users (well, those that RTFM, that is) might go read it since it's listed as the first "User document" currently in our web page. Thanks for your help!
