While most of the FAQ can be taken from the digests, I'd like to make some
suggestions on FAQ topics.

Section A:  Creator biographies.  Include the major names, list their main
areas of creativity, and notable "freelancing" (such as Barks' Mickey Mouse
story).  Include information about studios as well, including the Disney Studio
stories.  It may be best to give each creator a section, and repeat questions. 
(Who is...?  What did they do?  What are they doing now?  What are some good
examples of their talent?)

Section B:  Publishers and licensees.  Include any publisher which has ever
printed an approved Disney comic.  A geographical list (duplicated to FTP) of
current licensees would be nice.  
	Section B.1	Egmont
	Section B.2	Gladstone
	Section B.3	_________ (German licensee?)

Section C:  Where can I find information about....?  Describes information in
	the FTP files, as well as notable reference books.  Perhaps online
	sources as well?

Section D:  Questions about Uncle Scrooge.
	(Net worth, lucky dime, money bin)

Section E:  Questions about Mickey Mouse
	(why is Donald Duck more popular, which is better...pre or post
	lobotomy, where does he live)

Section F:  Questions about Duck characters.
	(what is Gyro, duck genealogy, JWW info)

Section G:  Questions about other classic Disney characters (Scamp, Goofy, Li'l
	Hiawatha, Pooh, Li'l Bad Wolf, Brer Rabbit)

Section H:  Questions about Disney feature animation characters (Snow White,
	Bambi, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast)

Section I:  Disney and controversy.  Include censored stories.

Section J:  Information about Disney comicstrips.

Section K:  General information (abbreviations, information about disney-comics)

Section L:  Questions about stories 
	Section L.1	Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck
	Section L.2	Popular Duck stories
	Section L.3	Mickey Mouse and the Phantom Blot
	Section L.4	Crossover stories (Mickey Mouse/Uncle Scrooge,
		Thumper/Seven Dwarfs)
	Section L.5	Miscelaneous

Section M:  Other information (under construction)
	circulation figures, odd topics of discussion, anything which doesn't
	fit into any of the other sections, but doesn't quite deserve a section
	of its own.


Well gang, that's half of the alphabet.  I hope this helps whoever is creating
the FAQ.  I'll be more than happy to play the part of "stupid user" once the
preliminary release is finished.

(The easiet way to edit the FAQ is to transfer the FTP files to disk, run it
through a word processor, cut and paste, run the spell check, then send it back 
to your account.)
