Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ's are Frequently Asked Questions, usually to an electronic document which someone has compiled containing questions asked over and over again on discussion lists. Specific, topical FAQs are posted monthly on many USENET newsgroups. People joining these newsgroups are often expected to have looked these FAQs over lest their next question be an irritatingly common one. These documents usually contain a table of contents for easy reviewing.

The World maintains its own general FAQ on our basic services, as well as an ever-growing collection of FAQs related to specific utilities. We also maintain a collection of FAQs found on the Internet that you may access.
