Responding to various things

Hi everyone,

Firstly, deadlines.  I aim do as much as I can on the FAQs before the 
end of September, but I may have to postpone some of the work until 
after mid-October due to work commitments.  I will be the most busy
in the latter part of September, so I don't really want another 
deadline screaming at me then.

As for the FAQ site, I think Frames can be nice, but I also think we 
should avoid them and go for a straightforward system of nested
links, which we can sub-categorise and cross-link.  In other words, on 
the opening page, there would be some main categories, each linking to
the related categories, and perhaps some of those could be subdivided, 
with some of the subcategory pages listed in more than one main 
category. Having said that, my experience is limited to writing a bit 
of HTML and maintaining a few web sites from a Java-ignorant 
standpoint, so it may be more complicated than I think. 

Tables are quite nice for presentation of links, as in the
discussions table Melanie has on her site, because they look more 
interesting than just a long list of links.

Magical Beings, Magical Animals and Animagi should, perhaps, be 
treated separately, with any named characters appearing also
appearing under their own names, rather than under another grouping, 
like animal characters.
