[Freeciv] freeciv on www.slashdot.org - the AAQ list

[Reinier Post <rp@xxxxxxxxxx>]

  A request to the FAQ maintainer:

There are actually two AAQs: newbies *always* ask this:


  Q1) How do I start a game?

[cf. http://www.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=99/01/26/1613221&cid=270]

  A1) You have a server running; type 's' to the server command line


  Q2) How did you find me? / Huh, did the AI just start talking?
  A2) Unless you are offline or you start it with the -n option, civserver
      will announce itself at the Freeciv metaserver, and other players
      will see your server.

Please enter them into the FAQ list, at the very start.

My third question: why not pack the FAQ with the distribution?
After all, these two questions are asked by people who haven't
found www.freeciv.org yet.  I estimate their frequency at 95% of
all first-time users.
