FAQ should be in permanent and prominent place and answered once (even if
asked frequently)

Maybe for people involved for many months the ac100 holds few secrets and
they know where to get their answers quick, but for
newcomers it is a weird and confusing community.

Can you answer these questions quickly or point to a place where these
answers can be found in a minute or two?
- What is the status of the U-Boot port to AC100 and how can one get started
with it? I found at least 4 tegra related UBoot fork trees.
- How does one run GLES2 accelerated apps that can be installed with apt-get
on the AC100 and what workarounds (if any) are necessary to run them?
- Which kernel tree is recommended for those who want to start developing
and debugging missing kernel features (sound, suspend, other nvec bits)

Similar questions have more or less clear answers and leads for other ARM
platforms supported by Ubuntu - granted those have been around for longer
than the the Tegra.
But Tegra/AC100 needs to get to that level somehow, and that is not by
dodging the writing of documentation and those who try to help and test.
