Ah, yes.  Perhaps "take a snapshot" would be a better term. :)

Thinking about it further, I realize that where fedorafaq.org can and
will maintain an FAQ indefinitely, we may not want to do that.  Also,
rolling FAQ changes over could be a PITA as the canonical at
fedorafaq.org gains more entries and refinements.  Otherwise, we're
forking and maintaining ourselves.  Ouch.

Gavin, do you want to contact Max directly?  We can let him know that a)
we like what they are doing, b) want to support it somehow, but c) can't
directly link to him.

Since they are using XHTML, it _might_ be easy for us to do rolling
updates derived from his source.  Let's find out first if that helps.

Max or one of his team may also be interested in doing the derivative
themselves, essentially publishing in two locations with certain content
not in the Fedora version.
