Well, at one point, I set up a FAQ Wizard because people were asking for a
collection of code showing how to use the basics of each DB module.  I
didn't seed it with any entries; I just set it up in case module
owners/users wanted to use it.  Since it appears to be largely unused, you
could turn that FAQ into a gathering of info about each module.

If everyone decides to use this FAQ for this purpose, would someone please
tell me so that I can change the title and "meta" info in section 1.

What might be more helpful would be a whole HTML form with a list of
questsions for module owners to answer.  The form could then put the
information into some consistently formatted document.  Not volunteering,
just suggesting. :)
