Sounds like an Ansteorran Heralds' Handbook.
We need to think about what the FAQs really are.
More notes:
- Run the page thru "lynx", a text-only browser. If it's not rendered
right, revamp. Also look at handicap accessability (URLs to come).
Bulleted lists (UL) work well for both.
- Contact info on each page.
- Put more frequently needed items at the top (top left, in this
case). Consider having sub-index pages, like submissions stuff, if
the main one gets too cluttered.
- "ROLL of Precedence", says the utterly anal-retentive herald.
- "Magic Numbers" is not a meaningful title. An inexperienced
person needs to be able to tell what it's about. People don't read
web pages -- they scan. "Who Sends What To Whom" is good in that
regard, and might go in the FAQ area. Not "Forms", but "Submission
Forms" at the least.
