Re: New AKA web site (FAQ)

[Barry Cooper <bjc3 at cornell_edu>]

Gary,

I was thinking the FAQ would be more directed at the kind of general 
questions you see asked repeatedly on killietalk. Such things as can I keep 
killies in a community tank? I have hard water, what killies can I keep? 
etc. The archives could provide a guide to the kind of things that should 
be included.

However, there might be some general information that could be organized in 
a genus specific way. General information about keep and breeding 
Aphyosemion, for example, although there is variation in the group for example.

I like the idea of a FAQ on the site. As people explore the new site, if 
ideas occur to them for things that they think would be useful, please 
contact me to discuss it.
