# This looks great!

Thanks.

# A really minor suggestion: for the toplevel page of multi-part FAQs, it'd
# be nice to try to provide some additional info about what's in each part.
# For example, on the front page for my FAQ you just have:
#
# jpeg-faq/part1
# Subject: JPEG image compression FAQ, part 1/2
# Maintainer: tgl@netcom.com (Tom Lane)
#
# jpeg-faq/part2
# Subject: JPEG image compression FAQ, part 2/2
# Maintainer: tgl@netcom.com (Tom Lane)
#
# which tells nothing about which part has what. In my case, adding the
# Summary: lines from the article headers would help the reader a great deal:
#
# jpeg-faq/part1
# Subject: JPEG image compression FAQ, part 1/2
# Summary: General questions and answers about JPEG
# Maintainer: tgl@netcom.com (Tom Lane)
#
# jpeg-faq/part2
# Subject: JPEG image compression FAQ, part 2/2
# Summary: System-specific hints and program recommendations for JPEG images
# Maintainer: tgl@netcom.com (Tom Lane)
#
# I don't know if other FAQ authors are using Summary: in a comparable way,
# though, so this might not be much help for other FAQs. If someone wanted
# to propose an auxiliary header to perform this function, I'd go along.

Your use of the Summary: header is absolutely appropriate and there is no
reason for additional headers. This is a great idea and one that I'll put
in right away. Thanks Tom.
