More and better documentation is an ongoing effort and such documents are wanted and have been discussed before. It requires people contributing more and better documentation. Perhaps you would care to contribute? Besides the FQA, we now also have docs[1], and mycroftiv's grid[2] has at least a dozen of people using 9front as a daily driver and/or writing new programs for it, willing to help newcomers. As an aside, I've sometimes wished for details on many of the references and photos in 9front propaganda. Perhaps those could remove some ambiguities? qwx [1] http://docs.9front.org [2] http://wiki.9gridchan.org, currently down for a short while
