Hello Everyone,

Two things I'd like to share with you in brief:

1- Let's keep the current FAQs area as simple as possible because that area
will be very much helpful for new comers. After all, they need someone to
show them where our FAQs is :)

2- I suggest to create a new page for Average and Advanced Users so we can
achieve Point 1 above easily and also help those who want more advanced
stuff :)

By the way, I have sent earlier a suggestion about working on our Wiki
Pages and Phill replied me. I agree the work needs more time but I suggest
to do this step by step. For example, let's re-arrange or organize the
current FAQs. If that step is done, we have completed at least the first
step :)

So, wxl, what do you think? others?

Thanks!
