It seems to me that there is a set of questions that commonly get asked in this forum (like what's the difference between const int* and int* const). I think these should be addressed in a FAQ.

It seems to me that there is a set of questions that commonly get asked in this forum (like what's the difference between const int* and int* const). I think these should be addressed in a FAQ.
I am quite unhappy with the improvements of the other FAQ as well...which I posted already in the feedback forum .
In this context (as I have mentioned in the thread) I have started to get some more things to the FAQ. Some of these are addressing more or less non Visual-C++ related things.
So...you are more than welcome to join us in the effort to improve the FAQ...
Yes, the other FAQ really needs to be improved. As we all are pretty busy, we cannot expect one or two people to do all of the job. So any helping hand is welcome.
Another aspect is that sometimes it is hard to draw a line between Visual and non-Visual C++ issues. You can see this by watching the questions being asked in the two forums. Many questions asked in the Visual C++ forum are plain vanilla C++ questions (have nothing to do with "Visual") -- and some questions asked here in the non-Visual C++ forum actually refere to things that are Microsoft specific.
Considering this, and the fact that having two separate FAQ (one for Visual and one for non-Visual C++) doubles the co-ordination work and probably leads to a lot of overlapping answers, I think we should settle for one C++ FAQ that addresses both Visual and non-Visual questions.
As I already stated in that thread in the Feedback forum, I am willing to do improvement and expansion work for the FAQ -- but I'd need a couple of people to help.
Andreas, I understand that you want to participate. What about you, Kevin? And the other major contributors?
I have no problem in helping out. Just need to know how!

I voted no, since I think we should integrate the FAQ items for non-vc C++ inside the other FAQ. Actually all help that is required is to make a list of frequently asked questions and their answers. Both should be short, yet detailed enough at the same time.
I'll start a sticky thread on this forum, so that you can post your proposals :)
