Has someone compiled a list of FAQs on various topics for HN into a text or HTML file?
I feel that people should look at FAQs instead of asking first. Read the FAQs ad if your question is not covered there, then ask it.
If HN is not updating a FAQ on different topics, then why not? You should be able to list every Ask HN post and then put a tag for each topic or category of it to make it easier to search and look to see if a question has already been answered. Then you can run a script to go by topic and category and create a downloadable text file or HTML file to read to help educate the public.
