@Pilot,
See attached for a quick dump to pdf of part1 of the FAQ.
Let me know if it really helped, and if it should be regularly done.
Regarding the history of the FAQ,
I started it as a volunteer effort on a separate platform,
ad supported, but soon got sick of the ads
that monetized the site.
So I moved it to a site that MIT controlled,
but that allowed Power Users like me (and hopefully the other Power Users)
to maintain it.
There are lots of AI2 sites, long dead, and I didn't want
to leave something only maintained by me.
(I have the attention span of a Ping Pong paddle.)
i also come at this from the data and Computer Science side,
and have next to no visual web design skills.
I agree that Google Groups wastes a lot of space on the screen,
and MIT's web sites are vastly better looking than the Google Group.
From what I see, AI2 lives off the kindness of strangers,
so feel free to pitch in any way you can.
