[snip entire FAQ rev. 5]
Ideas for the next revision:
* I'm happy with www.example.com as the host name for
examples, but the address should be normalised to
http://www.example.com/ with a trailing slash.
* I think some indentation should be introduced to aid the
reader, much like that of this list. It's hard to find
your way about the FAQ at the moment. Together with a
table of contents, numbered questions would be helpful.
See the format of the c.l.javascript FAQ:
news:42381f2e$0$8754$db0fefd9@news.zen.co.uk
* The list of contributors should be ordered alphabetically
and we should of course add Rajesh.
* The body of the FAQ should contain its revision date.
Also, a brief introduction would be good. Perhaps the first
section should be a meta-FAQ.
* There are more questions to include, the answers to which
are in the '[FAQ]' threads. And how about a question like
'Are there any tutorials, books or web sites on PHP?'?
An example ToC follows. Some of the questions didn't fit into
any of the categories, so I made up a miscellaneous one at the
end, and some of the questions, such as the register_globals
ones, could be merged.
