| We are looking for someone to help create an FAQ for this forum. While compiling information should be a group effort, one person would be charged with pulling it together into useful FAQs. This could mean a new document OR just pointing to helpful posts that are already on the forum. A good example of a helpful FAQ can be found here: Winter Sowing FAQ.
If you have a desire to make this forum even better, have good writing skills and work well with others, please reply to this thread or send us an email --Letters to Garden Web. |

| I'd be a lousy compiler.... but I'm willing to launch the 1st response with a beginning skeleton of FAQs (sans answers... just to get the ball rolling); BUYING A HOME: FINANCING A HOME PURCHASE: OPTIMIZING, REBALANCING, or REFINANCING HOME EQUITY: SELLING A HOME: OK... there's a starter... I am sure the crew can double or triple the size of the questions... and then we could begin digging in to answer them! ;~) Cheers, |

| Where's TriciaE? She would be good to fill in a lot of those, Dave. And don't we have some realtors around here? "lowlife cheeseball neighbor" = LOL!!! |

| People can search the forum for FAQs. Most people come to forums to discuss... not to get directed to one person's compilation of answers. I must be missing something. |

| I think lots of people come here to find an answer to a specific question. Then many stay to discuss. a FAQ would be great on this and many other forums here. |

| ncreguy, MANY brand new visitors get a bit intimidated by the free flow of the community (you have to admit, those of us who are old hands can be extremely comfortable & sometimes a little "strong" in our correspondence ;~) Newbies often like to search FAQs to figure out what they actually WANT to ask... and at the same time get more of a flavor for what the community is actually like. Having a FAQ is good. Finding a way to keep it relatively updated is better. Using the search function for dynamic answers is best (but requires a really functional search feature, which is not always the case.) Cheers, |

| The best FAQ's tend to be short and too the point. They also should be fact-based and not opinions. eg A FAQ should have definitions and examples of fixed rate vs adjustable rate mortgages. A discussion of the relative merits and suitability of each is best left to discussion threads. |

| Dave, Bill's response was what I was getting at exactly. He just explained it better than I did. |
