                        Developing FAQs for the Forum
                        Posted by Anonymous on Monday, August 21, 2006 12:23 PM

                        As a new member to the Forum I've skimmed through all posts in the forum and have seen a large number of topics that I think would make excellent FAQs for shipmodeling.  As  I read through different posts I saw the same material posted again and again as modeler's asked similar questions.  Some of the major areas that there are hundreds of posts on include:

                        PT Boats/MTBs

                        The Revell PT-109/PT-117 Kit

                        Accurate colors/camouflage schemes for warships

                        Rigging techniques

                        and many, many more.

                        I also see that there is a section at the top of the first page of the forum for Announcements and FAQs, but I have not seen any procedures for creating and posting FAQs.

                        I guess my questions to the forum are:

                        1.  Do you think that specific topic FAQs would be helpful?

                        2.  Would you be willing to spend some time in group projects to help deveelop a FAQ?

                        3.  Is there a foum procedure for posting a FAQ?

                        R/

                        Matt

                        I think that a couple of FAQs for questions that reappear in this forum regularly would be great help to beginners and old timers alike. There is a huge amount of knowledge available on this forum thanks to several "experten" but you have to dig for it at the moment. Being a newbie here (yep, I confess, I have been lurking and have only recently started posting) I don't want to step on any toes or upset the local hierarchy, but if asked I would be willing to help out with setting up these FAQs as a member of a group project. I would also like to hear what the procedures are for posting a FAQ.

                        regards,

                        Sounds like a great idea.

                        Though I am not a model ship expert by any streatch of the imagination, I'd be happy to share what little knowledge I do have.

                        Count me in!

                        I agree that it would be very usefull.  I suggest having a sticky FAQ post in every subjects: Aircraft, armor, ships, etc...  That would avoid the eternal coming back questions like what is FUTURE, what is the best airbrush, etc...  I know each and every modeler will need that information at some point and it would be great to have the information available quickly for newbies.

                        Excellent suggestion.
