> I would rather see an approved version of the original faq back.
First of all: There is no approved version of a German FAQ!
The old one only had half of the Q&A and was from a really early version of Threads from years ago.
(And the current English one had no structure at all with the questions. I personally don't think that an inexperienced user with questions would read this wall of questions.)
Why don't you take the English FAQ and write a German one yourself? It would be interesting. And anybody can choose what style he/she would prefer. In German there are actually 2 FAQs and 2 language files needed, one for the informal German (Duzen) and one for the formal German (Siezen). You see there is plenty of room for improvement.
B.t,w. that's what the German board is ment for.

Feel free to join us and help to make that FAQ(s) really good.
Mine was put here as a hack, to give other users an idea how I think a good FAQ should be like. And to get comments (like your's) on it, to further improve it. Not more not less. And this board is for experienced users, anyway.

Unfortunately there were no comments.
I found it now unchanged in the release version despite the comments I made to the two external links that need to be either killed or used with own content. Well. And not the latest version was taken here but an earlier one, where some things had not been so well documented about the few things that I did different from the "standard"

It is always easy to complain. It is much better to help to make this really good and come up with and discuss either alternative FAQs or give feedback on this one so that we can discuss it here.
