I can understand.
But it is probably worse when you have forums to follow too :)

We already have the sf.net archives, don't we ? :)
Maybe you want to have everything at the same place ? That would mean a s=
mtp->wiki
system and I'm nearly sure that it is not a very good solution.
I prefer our wiki for faqs and spec drafts, and our mailing-lists with ar=
chives.

This is something we have to decide : how do we provide support ?
Because our support is free, we have to find a way not to spend too much =
time on it.

We have the mailing-list and the html archives. If you insist on html, th=
e only missing
part is a form to send a mail to the mailing-list and say that the answer=
 will probably
be in the archives :)
