Subject: To EVERYBODY: What about a FAQ page in CCC?

Ok, I don't know whether there is already a FAQ within the CCC, and who has the
"power" to make one, but if there is none -I'm not aware of any, at least-, I
think it'd be a good idea to include one.
I've seen many questions repeated again and again by new members, and always the
same people giving the same answers. I'm sure we could all contribute a little
bit, decide when a question is being posted too often, and include it in a FAQ
page. Let's say... a question such "My perft tests show a wrong number. How can
I find a bug in my move generator?". We could include more than one suggestion,
of course. I hope not a lot of people disagree on this, but a reasonable good
answer for this question would be to download a program like "Sharper" (or any
other similar one) with a function that displays the total sub-nodes for every
available move for a given position, and track the error reducing the depth
every time... etc.
I think it'd be a good idea for beginners, so they can find the information that
they need in an organized way, and to leave the forum for new, innovative and
challenging questions (too much hope here, anyway).
Let me know what you think.
Regards,

 Jaime
