The WWW is a terrific expanding information resource, but restricting
your search to it isn't such a great idea. :)

The README file in the directory which you mention tells you how to
read the files which are stored in that directory. Those files are
the archives for the faq-maintainers mailing list.

That's not exactly what that thread was about. Hosting web pages and
hosting HTML FAQs aren't quite the same thing... nor am I merely being
a nitpick here. See faq-maintainers.9403.1 for more details about how
that thread ended up being "resolved".

Ditto faq-maintainers.9403.1 (it's also also listed in the
"Introduction to *.answers document").
> 4) I think there's a list of newsgroup CFV's and RFD's somewhere. Where?
The answer is ftp.uu.net:/pub/usenet/news.announce.newgroups.
Germaneness to this mailing list: maintainers should at least consider
including the charter, if one exists, in their periodic postings,
although we (*.answers moderators) do *NOT* require it. On occasion
it gets suggested to us that we do so, but it doesn't seem reasonable
to impose the requirement.
