Saves time - point to a FAQ - questions are always posted many times  
over.

Agreed.

At the risk of being completely undemocratic - and more in the just- 
go-ahead-and-do-it philosophy - I just registered the domains:

     - www.revdocs.org / net / com

I suggest we point them all at the same place as people often forget  
which ending to use. If a better name comes up or is suggested fine -  
no big loss :)
