[First note - if there are any prospectivew FAQ "owners" out there who don't have a web browser or access to one, you need to mail harp-l-worke~arply.com and ask for our "web-challenged package".]

Note that the exact structure for Subject headers and keywords (FAQ, RFC, RFA, etc) is still under discussion on harp-l-workers. If you care, come join us.
The first step is to get some owners volunteering to maintain sections / questions of the FAQ. An example of what I mean is that Danny Wilson, [bassharp], just volunteered to own "2.1.4, What is a bass harmonica?". I'm expecting Mike Curtis to step up and own "2.6, What is a valved diatonic". Etc.
When we have a "critical mass", I'll create a harp-l-faq list, on which we can have "meta-discussions" about FAQ mintenance issues without bothering the whole list.
So. If you think you might want to "own" a section of the FAQ, go and look at it:
... and follow your nose. Or mail harp-l-worke~arply.com and ask for the email only deal.
Note that the structure of the FAQ will be as dynamic as we want it. What you see right now is just a "snapshot" of the "old" FAQ, to use as a starting point. If you wish to create a new sub-section or "question", or have a better suggestion for re-structuring the existing one ... come and talk to harp-l-workers.
And I repeat - I'll be creating a harp-l-faq list, to get the meta-discussion of this issue (i.e. about the mechanics of maintaining the FAQ, not about the content thereof) in order to get the traffic off of harp-l itself in the near future. All "owners" will be automagically included on it, anyone else needs to ask harp-l-workers.
Happy FAQ-ing.
Oh, and a belated Happy FAQ-ing Thanksgiving, as well, to all our U.S. readers! I'm still bloated, fat and happy 24 hours later, about to fix turkey sandwiches for the kids ... :)
