Hi:

I wanted to keep everyone in the loop (this might be new information to
some of our new members also).  We are in the process of creating a set
of about 60 "FAQs" (Frequently Asked Questions).  These FAQs will deal
with substantive recurring themes or topics that the group has discussed
at various points.  Examples: Animal Characters, Sirius Black, Book
Banning, Casting, Fanfiction, Hogwarts, Inconsistencies & Mysteries:
each of the 4 books, Stouffer Lawsuit, Mythology & Magical Creatures,
Other Recommended Reading, Predictions: Book 5, Racial Diversity & HP,
Religion & HP, Potential Romance Pairings, Wizarding World: Government,
Wizarding World: Economy, etc.  This is just a sampling.  All major
characters will have a FAQ.

We have now all but completed the daunting task of categorizing all 8000
Yahoo messages.  We had about 15 people who helped with this task.  Now
our FAQs Committee (me, Melanie, Neil, Simon, Heidi, Carole & Ebony) is
getting down to work on these FAQs.  They will hopefully be largely
completed & available for viewing by sometime in October.  We will then
probably be soliciting some help with keeping them current so keep that
in mind for later.

So, Johanna's question about Religion & HP -- you can search the Message
Archives for now, but at some point in about a month, you'll be able to
go to that particular topical FAQ and read what's been discussed so far.
