http://www.faqs.org/faqs/faqs/about-faqs/ goes into a fair amount of 
detail of what an FAQ is and what should be on it. I agree that page is 
getting more cluttered. I'll add some pithy "please RTM first" 
statement. Looking at the FAQ as it is, many of the questions have come 
up on the mailing list, but what should be there is a fairly generic 
question that keeps surfacing in the list with a brief answer pointing 
to all the resources that one might need to fix the problem.

My two cents.
