Where would it look, Unless Netscape, microsoft and the other web browser
folks want to sponsor a site that would keep updated links.

I guess that in effect you would send a form to faq-find.netscape.com with
the name of the news group and it would send an updated link to a www or
newgroup version of the faq. Personaly I would rather see netscape spend
the effort on getting some of the GPF problems out of their browser.

Already we have had complaints on FAQ maintainers about outdated FAQ files
still being avalible. (My Wife's FAQ is avalible in two different
versions by a deja-news search.)
