Master List of FAQs

Hi:
When you have a moment, take a look at the Master List of FAQs that I
created & put in the "Database" section of our egroups. We can add &
edit this as necessary. It's based on the topical groupings from
people who've sifted through their messages & my own thoughts. Paul:
I
love some of your heading titles (especially New York Times: Evil
Behavior). <vbg>
We can change this -- but I started out with the premise that we
could
group some sub-topics under a larger topic. For example, I have a
FAQ on Hogwarts. I would expect that would include the theories
about
where Hogwarts is located, whether there is tuition, the size of the
student body, where the professors live & whether they're married or
not, etc.
Similarly, I set up a FAQ for each of the major characters (I know, I
forgot Pettigrew -- we'll add him). The Hermione page would have a
cross-link to the Names (meanings) FAQ, a physical description of
Hermione, her personality, a cross-link to the Romance Pairings FAQ,
the prounciation of her name, etc.
For the Committee: I've created columns for the name of the person
creating the FAQ, date of completion & who's responsible for
maintaining it. My thought is that once the FAQs are written, we
might be able to talk some of the other members into volunteering to
maintain a FAQ or 2. That way, we, the 5-person Committee, won't be
trying to maintain 10-15 FAQs each.
Heidi has expressed an interest in the Geography FAQ (where is
Hogwarts, the Burrow, Diagon Alley, etc.) & the Mythology FAQ. I am
placing dibs on Hermione. I'm assigning "CoverArt" & "Other
Recommended Reading" to Skimmel if he'll do them. He usually weighs
in
heavily on both those topics. If you're not a member of the 5-person
"Committee" but want to do one or more of the FAQs, let me know.
We're more than happy to take your help. And, I do not want to be
stuck with Casting. <g>
Oh, email the group with your "dibs" on various FAQs. That way
Melanie will know that Neil has already placed dibs on "Potter,
Harry"
for example. That is, I won't have to sort through & figure out who
put dibs on something first. You might want to think about initially
volunteering for one large FAQ and some of the smaller ones. I
wanted
to try & sort them into large ones and then more minor ones, but then
my head started to hurt.
Is any of this making sense? <g>
