There is no list faq, no. there are several individual howtos in the links
and files.
I do not think it is easy to compile a FAQ, because there are too many
disagreements.
Who would decide what is the correct way to do things?
Most of the discussion is not fixed facts, that work this way and no
other, mostly we discuss new ideas and experimental stuff.
Putting that in a faq is kind of useless.
It is true the same topics come up again and again, but it think this is
how it is meant to be. It is always different tho, kind of like comparing
notes.
If you have a good idea of making a useful FAQ, i'm all ears. What could
be useful is a basic "tree-like" guide that shows a beginner all the
possibilities with short descriptions and links to other guides. Often,
beginners do not know what possibilities are out there.
