"Official FAQ"?

I just found out about this place:

ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet-by-hierarchy/

Apparently it's a place where they keep "official" FAQ files for
newsgroups.

I looked closer at it and found directories for all the ascii art
newsgroups I know about:

alt.ascii-art
alt.ascii-art.animation
alt.binaries.pictures.ascii
rec.arts.ascii

but they were empty.  :(

How about trying to get that place to keep copies of our various FAQs?

Well, I don`t think it would be good for my MiniFAQ, as I tend to amend that
whenever info stumbles my way --- it would probably get out of date quite
quickly,

(BTW... don`t rely on it's 'Last Modified' date... I often forget to update
it!)

The 'proper' FAQ would be good though.... It doesn`t change very often.

I'm not sure, but I think it may involve a cross-post to news.answers?
