    While i appreciate your efforts, i definately think making changes to the
    FAQ is still difficult.

    Generally i despise broken links, my attitude to old pages is to deprecate
    them, put "No longer maintained" or words to that effect on the page and
    usually a link to a more current page. (you put a link to the new pages,
    which i appreciate)

    A flat page with all the information together is easier to use than having
    it all on seperate pages. It may only be slightly less inconvenient but a
    persons point of veiw can cause tiny annoyances to seem huge, removing
    them probably required more effort than saying they were no longer
    maintained and pointing to the new source.

    I hope you will continue to do your Brilliant work on the Abiword Weekly
    News, which i appeceiate massively. I may criticize a lot and i apologize
    that it is not useful criticism.

    Sincerely
    Alan Horkan
