Hi there,

I maintain the online FAQ for the French PHP newsgroup (fr.comp.infosystemes.www.auteurs.php) whenenever I get some time. It's been online for a year and a half now, and is read/downloaded some 50-100 times a day. I got back feedback from readers less than 10 times (asking for precisions or reporting an error). A FAQ is, IMHO, always useful.

Well, I like this fortune :

(Only those who already know what's in the FAQs read them)

Yours sincerely,
