FAQ frequency


Sun, 17 Sep 1995 12:13:09 +0100

Robert Pelak has suggested to me that I post the FAQ more frequently than
once a month. It took a while for me to grasp the concept, but I got there
in the end. 8)

So, allowing for complaints/death-threats, I was thinking of posting it
unchanged maybe once a week. I'd then re-post an updated version on the 1st
of each month. If there are any *major* developments I'd update it sooner.

These frequent posts would be here only. I also plan to post the updated
version to rgi-f, rec.games.programmer, comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.adventure,
comp.sys.mac.games.adventure and the *.answers hierarchy once a month. OK?

Here's the catch. The new FAQ will be just shy of 1000 lines (which is not
too long as FAQs go), but if too many people balk at such a big post so often
I'll go back to once a month. But remember, the FAQ is mainly aimed at
newbies, who may not be so accomodating as to come along on the 1st of the
month, so weekly postings will be a safety net for everyone else.

Anyway, next FAQ due 1st October.
