+ Q: What is the GNU Enterprise Application Server?
+
+ A: GNUe AppServer is like a database on steroids.  For actual data storage, it
+    uses a standard SQL database, but on top of that it adds features like
+    calculated fields or procedures called upon defined events, both freely
+    implementable using the full power of Python.

+ Q: What is the GNU Enterprise Common Library?
+
+ A: GNUe Common is a set of Python modules which is used in several of the
+    other GNU Enterprise tools.
+
+ Q: Can I use GNUe Common in my own applications?
+
+ A: Certainly you can reuse all these modules in your own application under the
+    terms of the GNU GPL.  However, the needs of the GNUe tools are the primary
+    target for GNUe Common, and features might be changed or removed in future
+    versions of GNUe Common as the tools develop further.

+
+ Q: What is GNU Enterprise Designer?
+
+ A: GNUe Designer is a graphical tool to interactively build database
+    applications which will later run on top of the other GNUe tools.
+    Most important, GNUe Designer lets you design data entry forms easily and
+    quickly without any knowledge of XML.
+
+ Q: Why is GNUe Designer broken?
+
+ A: Due to the lack of development manpower, GNUe Designer has fallen back on
+    development and is not any more up to the current status of the other
+    tools.  If you are interested in working on GNUe Designer, please contact
+    us!

+ Q: What is GNU Enterprise Forms?
+
+ A: GNUe Forms generates and displays data entry windows for database
+    applications.  The layout of the form and optional Python code to be
+    executed on defined events are declared in an XML file.  Based on one and
+    the same XML file, GNUe Forms can generate and display data entry windows
+    with native controls on Gnome, KDE, Mac OSX, Windows, and even on a UN*X
+    text screen.  GNUe Forms supports a wide range of SQL databases for backend
+    as well as the GNUe AppServer.

-Q: Why is this FAQ file empty?
+ Q: What is GNU Enterprise Reports?
 
-A: Because it needs to be written!  Patches are welcome. 
-
+ A: GNUe Reports is a report generator.  Based on a report definition from an
+    XML file, it queries a database and generates XML output, which can then be
+    arbitarily postprocessed to different formats (HTML, PDF...) and sent to
+    different destinations (email, printer...).
