Make it have an index. Make it refer to the previous posting
("obsoletes ..."). This will give a slight chance of identifying
what has changes since the last posting. Otherwise it will just
get deleted for "I've read it before, why should I do it again?".

Isn't Derek continuously posting links to an *existing* FAQ? It
obviously would be better to feed back into _this_ document
instead of duplicating work and splitting off or compiling
another version.
Then a three line message with "There's a FAQ, see it in your
local installation or online at ..." would suffice when being
posted weekly. Maybe together with a link to a search form at an
archiver of your choice.
