[WEBSITE] Where to link in OpenOffice FAQ?
Having looked around a bit, I could not easily find where the general
FAQ is linked. It seems to be a link from the "about" page --
http://www.openoffice.org/about/
which is also no longer linked from the home page.
Should we link "About" from http://www.openoffice.org/why/index.html
in some way?

Honestly, I did not look closely at the FAQs. If they are out of date,
of course they should be revised before linking them to anything.

in any case this entry webpage [1] should be replaced with some short
text (like "... the FAQs have moved. Please click this text to get
redirected to our Wiki ...") and a link to the FAQs.
Furthermore some text and the link to the FAQs can be placed here [2].
Maybe as a sixth point at the top of the already existing five.

Yes, this FAQ is quite nice. So, where can we link this from the main web
site so it will get more attention?

Thanks a lot Keith. Indeed
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/FAQ
seems quite complete, even though it is probably time to renew it and
remove references to version 1.x and 2.x; there are some Mediawiki
errors but they apply to a few "technical" pages that we can likely
remove from the User FAQ.

Sure, and everybody remember that if you don't have a wiki account you

Well, we shouldn't delay work on the site until the CMS works again...
We already have many pending edits. So long as we don't touch very
delicate components (like the download JavaScript or the side-wide CSS)
we should continue and when the CMS is restored we can fix the
occasional HTML errors we didn't notice.

Andrea.

Thanks Keith. This is certainly helpful information. We would
certainly be grateful for more current information on the FAQs. And if
we are now maintaining them on the wiki, this would be easier for
volunteers as well.

Marcus and Kay;
Many of those FAQ's were merged into the FAQ pages on the mwiki. I had
thought I had notified the dev list and requested those pages be
redirected to the mwiki, but it is possible I checked it off as done on
my todo list but never sent the e-mail. I will double check on which
pages I did and where I added them ion the wiki.

in general I think it can be a good place or linking.
However, the FAQs are mostly outdated. Does it make sense to do the
linking without a greater review and rework?
If we decide for a rework I would comment out any linking to the FAQs
and replace at least the inital webpage temporarily with an "under
construction" message.
