The FAQ as it currently stands has attributions with email addresses for
many of the articles. I was proposing to loose the email addresses since
many are probably now out of date, and they poses a slight spam risk
for their owners (they are obfuscated in the code - which helps reduce
the risk significantly). Anyone have any feelings on the matter?
I can't see that you're gaining anything by doing that.
You need to retain details of the copyright ownerships
in any case.

Who has copyright on Andy Hall's contribution ?


Amazingly, none of Andy's numerous contributions are actually in the
FAQ!!!

How about gathering them up into an "Andy Hall of Fame" section in the
Wiki? It would be a real shame if one day Google changed direction and
they got lost. Its happened before... remember deja-vu, altavista.

Anyone up for starting it off with a list of good ones, with pointers
into the Google archive?


Splendid idea Phil.

I recall some very detailed and useful postings on things like auxiliary
heating circuits for workshops, flushing central heating systems, and a
few others.

If someone wants to collect them together, I would be happy to format
them for the FAQ (probably not as well suited to the wiki, since there
is little justification for "fiddling" with them later...
