Finally, some sensible progress. :-)

I would really like to begin working on a rudimentary FAQ for the Free 
Universal Encyclopedia.  Currently it seems there are 2 projects which fall 
under the umbrella of the Free Universal Encyclopedia (GNE, anyone?).

Project 1 consists of strict editorially controlled articles and is 
currently called Nupedia.

Project 2 consists of looosely controlled articles and Hector is calling it 
FindAName.  I personally don't care too much for that name hut it helps to 
distinguish.

Unless someone is already maintaining the FAQ for the FUE/GNE I would like 
to start one up myself.  Please let me know if one (or something like it 
already exists).

Does have a recommendation for where this FAQ could be hosted?  Tiki, or 
elsewhere?

Thanks, Much!
