Probably >best left, And this highlights the problems of having functional FAQs on the main Wiki site. They are harder to maintain and there are fewer editors. I suspect that few, if any, of the manual editors have a regular good look at the FAQs on the Wiki. That last one was a good catch by Steve. Can we confirm that post 2.0 we have decided that the functional FAQs will only be in the manual - and that the only FAQs on the main site will relate to the Audacity project and not how to use the Audacity program. This will mean retaining just the first FAQ section on the main site, the one titled "About Audacity". The functional ones can be copied to the manual if not already covered there. Once this process is complete, the main site FAQ page can be "cleaned" by someone with the requesite editing access. Peter.

Probably best left, if it's retained at all ("clicking after the end of the track" is also wrong for 2.0). Only non-English users will be directed to look at whatever legacy FAQ's remain on that page. Gale > On 24 February 2012 00:13, Bill Wharrie <bi...@go...> wrote: > > Vaughan: > > > > Ouch!
