The VFAQs *and* the FAQs are both works-in-progress, indeed.  We do 
update the VFAQs every so often to include things we notice are being 
asked fairly frequently.  If there's something you think needs to be 
added to the VFAQs, by all means, drop us a line at 
Hpforgrownups-owner at yahoogroups.com

To clear up any confusion, the FAQs are a series of topical essays on 
virtually everything HP-related that we've discussed on HP4GU to date. 
We are thinking of having Joywitch the Contest-meister run a contest to 
choose a new name for the FAQs: something less similar to VFAQs.

The VFAQs are: Very Frequently Asked Questions.  This document is in a 
Q&A format, and all members *are* expected to be familiar with it.  If 
you haven't read it at all (or lately), here's the link:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups/files/Admin%20Files/VFAQ.htm
(you may need to reconstruct the link)

The VFAQS, for example, do contain answers to some of the questions 
posed earlier today (the infamous "Did anyone else notice the Gleam in 
Dumbledore's Eye," (yes) and "Are Mrs. Figg & Arabella Figg of the old 
crowd the same person?" (yes)).

By contrast, the FAQs, as I said above, are not necessarily Q&A format 
(although some of them are).  Most of them are long essays on a range of 
HP-related topics.  We have a FAQs Committee, and yes, the FAQs that are 
not "live" at the moment are being drafted by someone.  I've forwarded 
Cindy's query to the FAQs group, asking for a status update myself.  :--)

Here's the link to the FAQs -- please take a look at them when you have 
time (we think they're worth the time):

Again, hopefully more of the FAQs will be completed & uploaded soon.  I 
know it's about time for me to think about updating some of mine (huge, 
exaggerated sigh).  :--)
