With help from my good buddy Neil Munday, who set up space on his server and allowed me again to use his splendid Open Source FAQ writing software, I have worked the last couple of days on a new BOINC FAQ. This site is not to replace the Wiki, it's merely a tool for you who help, who look for help and who are just wondering about where to find help.

It's a small collection of FAQs at this moment, but I didn't see the need to first make it complete before putting it on the web. It can and will be added to over the next couple of weeks, if not years.

The link to it is http://boincfaq.mundayweb.com/index.php

I am on the look out for co-writers.
If you have any expertise in writing FAQs, if you can explain things in a reasonably easy way, please contact me and I'll see to it you get a moderator account.

My email address can be found under the About option in the top right of the screen.

The email address is also there if you want anything added, changed, replaced or just want to talk to me. :-)

This is going to be helpful. Something like this should be included with BOINC as some sort of HTML "Help/FAQ" file that users can refer to without having to come to the message boards, and every release of BOINC can have an updated help/FAQ file.

The TOP 3 of most looked at FAQs for this week is:

1. What are credits? Can I use them?

2. Can I merge accounts?.

3. CPU Usage Percentage, how does it work?

Update, January 4th, 2007
Neil informed me yesterday that he's got most of the multilingual FAQ software under test on his own system. So far it looks good. He is now interested in which languages you people want. This far we'll go for the English version, German and Dutch. We could still use writers/translaters.

You can always leave a message that you want to translate FAQs or be part of the team in this thread on the Mundayweb forums

No more English FAQ writers needed. Dex, Jorden, mo.v, Neil and Ozzfan write the English FAQs. For the moment these are enough.

John Keck has volunteered to be the English Proof Reader/Editor.

But we can still use some German and other language FAQ writers.
Cori, Dotsch, Hermann and Jakob Creutzfeld will translate the English->German FAQs and write the new German ones. If you want to be part of that team, please contact me.

I haven't got a definitive German Proof Reader/Editor yet.

Dutch FAQs will come as well, written and translated by Jorden. (that's me ;))
But even here I could use help.

Question for you all... What are you missing from the FAQs that you want added?
Easy question, difficult to answer perhaps. :-)
