How do I add to my group's FAQ?
John Reekie, 4 Sep 1999

A FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) list is a common and effective format for providing a lot of detailed and targeted information. If you have a group on this website, the group administrator can turn on a web-based FAQ interface for that group. This is likely to be particularly useful for software projects, as most software products have a FAQ as a key part of that software's documentation.

FAQs are divided into sections, where each section contains questions (and hopefully, answers!). To add a question to a FAQ, the procedure is essentially the same as that for articles, except that the link in the left-hand margin is labeled "Add question," and other labels and buttons change accordingly. The procedure for editing a question in the FAQ is also essentially the same as editing an article. (The main difference is the absence of the Attached files option -- it is not possible to upload files to attach to a FAQ.)

If you are a GSRC member, you can also add questions to the GSRC FAQ.
