[Rockhounds] FAQ Creation (Was: Standard Question Format)

[Glenn Wimpee]

IMHO, I think we are really on to a good thing here!
 
Alex's proposal, Alan's suggestion of several FAQ lists, several other favorable good suggestions, and Kitty has volunteered to compile the lists.
 
I agree with Kitty's comment: Lets do it!
 
As a start, if you would like to contribute to any specific FAQ list, why not post which you care to work on, and Kitty can make email lists specific to each FAQ subject?

 (which is at the bottom of every Rockhounds message)you will see that there is a FAQ page, and it says:   FAQ:  This page is still under construction.   If you would like to assist with completing its content please contact rhladmin at drizzle.com.Alan, I think your idea (below) is a good one. People who want to contribute should do as it says, and contact rhladmin (which I believe is Julie). I have already volunteered to serve as collector, editor, writer, whatever. Let's do it!   Aloha, Kitty
 
 
 One option is to develop several different FAQ pages. For example, FAQ's can be written for fossil ID, mineral ID, lapidary, working with chemicals, evolution and science, equipment, etc. Many of the FAQs can be compiled from archived material. Different people can use their expertise to work on FAQs. I would suggest that this be done by people who agree to work on it who can {quot}reply all{quot} to each other so we don't plug up the list serve with a half-dozen FAQ development committees jabbering back and forth among themselves. We have enough people who post their personal replies to everyone instead of the one person who they are trying to reach.   Alan
