The FAQ and handbook in the WWW server are updated from -current
once a day automatically.  However, since this was the first
update of the FAQ since I engaged the autopilot, I missed a
detail in my update script that cron runs.  I'll watch to see
that it gets properly updated today.

And BTW, the changes to the FAQ regarding the movement of stuff
to /usr/share/FAQ to /usr/share/FAQ/Text are somewhat misguided
since, for the most part, the stuff in /usr/share/FAQ is obsolete
and no longer maintained.  CONTRIB.FreeBSD and MIRROR.SITES are
the exception.  The references in the FAQ should be replaced by
links to the appropriate sections of the handbook.  As of today,
you can make a url that jumps directly to a particular section of
the handbook.  

Shortly before 2.0.5, I asked if anyone would object if I zapped
the obsolete stuff and nobody responded...
