I agree with this, but not everything can be written in a FAQ. For
example, look at the KernelNewbiesWiki at
http://wiki.kernelnewbies.org/wiki. Somehow, I never liked the
organization, it's just a random set of pages with useful information
thrown in somewhere. On the other hand, look at
http://www.tldp.org/LDP/lki/. It's a nice document, just a set of notes
by Tigran, but well organied with a nice flow. Ofcourse, I always go for
the "Understanding the Linux Kernel" book for final reference.
What I mean is, a nicely written HOWTO/Guide is better than a FAQ or
even a Wiki with pages edited randomly.
