Hi all,
I'm working on the beginnings of a FAQ for Netatalk that should make it
accessible to a lot more people. I just spent a few minutes throwing
together a FAQ outline off the top of my head. Please review it and
*privately* respond to me with additions. (Private response will limit
list clutter.) When I get a number of them back, I'll post an updated
copy.
Also, if you know of a pre-existing FAQ that I should integrate into
this, please point me to it. I have no desire to arrogantly redo someone
else's work.
And remember: If you don't add your thought to it, no one else will. :-)
