Are you volunteering to do this? We need someone to go through the entire archive and create a faq.

Uh..no..perhaps I should've been clearer. I just wanted to know if the .. verbal exchanges would be included in the archives. I'm kind of strapped for space on my drive. There's not a lot that can go into 1.94 GB these days.

Hi,
any and every mail coming to the list is archived at 2 places. one on ilug-bom.org.in & the other on yahoo groups.
Best Regards,

I can do this as I have paractically nothing very important to do, except preparing for MGPT (Jobless ;-) ) I can devote more than 4 hrs. a day to do the stuff.
My limitations. 1> No practical knowlege of writing FAQ or something similar. 2> A very poor Dial-up internet connection. 3> Not much indepth knowledge of Linux.
However even with all these limitations, I can give my best shot.
Hope this much info is sufficient to assign the above mentioned task to me !
TIA,

Ok, you can try it out. We'll get the members to moderate it after you're done. Can you download the archives? Maybe do it a month at a time. Basically, what you've got to do is identify what the question in each mail was, and what the answers turned out to be. A structure would be something like this:
Question...
Answer... Brief answer that you understood from the mails
ABC abc@ddd.com had this to add...
any thoughts specific by this person, that weren't thought of by others.
DEF def@dgsa.com had this to add...
and so on.
