Hello group,

I got an answer from Rich Churcher about the FAQ:

> I would be very happy for someone to take the poor dilapidated FAQ and

So we need a new maintainer of the FAQ. We need one anyway but we need one
before we can address the other outstanding issues (should parts of boost
be on-topic, should we add some "hello world" instructions for popular
compilers).

I volunteer, but my history shows I'm an on-and-off regular for this
group. That would not mean I would not be suited (I'm always pretty good
reachable by email), but it does mean I may not be aware of the latest in
this group at any time. If one of the regulars with a better "attendence
record" volunteers, I'ld be quite happy to let him/her do it.

So any takers?

We also need hosting. I can host it for someone else, but I definately
prefer if the maintainer hosts it himself.

Let me and the group know what you think.

Regards,
M4
