The following list provides links to discussions about the Forum.
There are two on-going discussions about the format of the FAQ: 1) the FAQ may be periodically collected into a document that will be prominently visible and will be available for downloading, 2) the FAQ may include a type of presentation which uses the hypertext mode (this would allow joint editing by interested parties, ala wiki).
