A particularly insightful comment on my original suggestion of dealing with
Yahoo was: why single out one portal? This comment would surely apply to
dmoz.org also, wouldn't it? As a *.answers moderator I'd feel happier about
starting the work of dealing with any particular hierarchical directory if we
had some glimmer of a medium-term plan for handling all (or at least 'many')
of them.

Else why not stick with just faqs.org?

What faqs.org and the faq-maintainers list has going for it is a reasonably
identifiable group of people managing the basic information; cycnicism
notwithstanding, if small changes to FAQs were needed to make something work,
I imagine a large fraction (but not all) would eventually make them.

Perhaps an 'interact with the portals' project could replace the apparently
moribund 'faq book' project. Whatever became of the hypothetical
classification scheme for FAQs associated with the book project? We had an
Information Retrieval grad student looking at it at one point.
