Oops! I guess I should have looked more carefully :-)

What would be a nice improvement is a web interface that will allow 
anyone to add an FAQ and authorized people to post answers and edit 
questions posted directly.

FAQs are usually build organically. The overhead of going through email 
request and seeing them processed discurages rapid building of an FAQ.
This is one of the valuable lessons I have learned from working on open 
source projects.

More importantly, we need someone to take ownership of compiling the 
questions and providing the draft answers for TC review.
