Hi guys,

I would like to reorganise the general CentOS FAQ. It now has 20 questions
about a lot of different things that can be structure much better. I would
like to add some questions, but lacking any structure...


I would like to make a distinction between the following subjects:

- General questions about the CentOS project

Answers about what the project is about, why the project exists, who is
involved in the project, what the relationship os to Red Hat


- General questions about CentOS releases and updates

Answers about the release versions, release frequency, continuity,
sub-releases


- General questions about CentOS additional packages and features

Answers about repositories, packages, mp3 support


Each general FAQ would of course point to the other FAQ documents to
people can navigate to the others if they google to one of them.


Is this something I can do ?

Sounds like a good idea to me... There is a post to the CentOS forum
that has some suggestions for the FAQ and also www.centos.org:

http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=thread&topic_id=13232&forum =18&post_id=44844

Might be a good idea to perhaps check the mail lists and work out what questions
get asked the most there, and then on the forums and general centos searches on
google.

Right, I was planning to add the stuff that people asked me the most at
events. Mostly related to: Are you a company ? What if CentOS stops doing
it ? What if Red Hat stops releasing SRPMs ?


But also: How can I join the project ? What can we do to help CentOS ?

Additionally I would like to add some of the content of the slides, like
what CentOS does apart from rebuilding the RPMS, how we are not competing
with Red Hat, what we add for RHEL users, when one should not use CentOS
but RHEL instead, etc...


All tha kind of stuff.

Sounds great if they can be splitted up in sections. Though, I think
it is best if they are kept on the same page for viewing pleasure.
