-    '''[wiki:FrequentlyAskedQuestions Frequently Asked Questions]'''
-      Frequently Asked Questions documents, or FAQs, are a common sight across the internet. Questions about a particular topic (in this case, all parts of the excalibur project), are gathered together along with their answers. A FAQ is often maintained by a large group of people. In the case of software, the best FAQs see some users of that software exchanging information by putting their knowledge (and that gained from the software's developers) in a FAQ. Please join in and give something back to the project!
