I've kept out of this mostly because my FAQs are perhaps not as "publishable"
as some of the others out there. However, I've an idea which may be helpful:

NETguide is a magazine in the U.S. which has come out with books on various
topics: NETmoney, NETgames, NETtrek, etc. The material published is not
the FAQs or lists themselves (although there are some excerpts for the sake
of interest), but instead they give pointers to the original host site as
well as other archive sites (AOL, Genie, Compu$erve, gopher, ftp, etc).

It may be in our interests to contact these people and ask if they want to
put out a book on FAQs to create this comprehensive listing of locations for
any FAQ officially put out into the ether (their web and mail addresses are
in each book, but I don't have them here at work to pass on).

Of course, I won't be doing this :) but perhaps someone with more of an
interest in this idea may volunteer.

Net Guide, the magazine, is not affiliated with the various
Net Chat, Net Money, Net Games books.


You do not want to contact the publisher of the books, under
any circumstances.  He is not interested in assisting or
helping the net community.
