I believe time has come to do something similar like E@H. And the list is still growing. A lot of people joining the project are asking over and over and over and .... again the same questions. It would be nice if here at S@H we had a list answering the most common questions. Thanks a lot if this could be made. ID: 90840 ·

I agree with this Grant for people who still use the "old" modem way of connection. Therefore my next suggestion, or question ;) IMHO, people who are a little bit clever and who are using broadband will first go to that list to try to find the answer on the question they have.

For SETI, the link to this FAQ could still be on the Q&A page, for instance. Or directly on the main page. Then, another project specicifc FAQ with issues differently in every project. ID: 90920 ·
