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>
