SourceForge provides a Wiki, which is an idea place for that sort
of thing. I hope we can have that up and running soon, currently it
is only about 5 minutes old any quite bare. SF's a bit slow, and
it's not as nice to use as MediaWiki, but I am glad to see it:

Everyone can contribute to a wiki, just create yourself an account
and go for it.

The mailing list archive will usually be the best resource. Problems are continually solved and worked around, so documentation about bugs are
often out of date. A FAQ needs a dedicated caretaker or it suffers from
irrelevance.
