May I suggest as an alternative using a Wiki (there are free Wiki
hosts available) that group members could edit to add information and
links to clips, etc., as they become available...
Paired to hosting media files at the internet archive this could
become a very powerful way to keep a FAQ-like document current, and it
would leverage emerging technologies that were designed to do exactly
this -- capture and share group knowledge.
If you haven't participated in one, Wikis require only a web browser
to access but are editable by anyone [with permission to do so].
Wikipedia being only one example.
When I have more time in the fall I would be willing to seed one --
but the whole point would be anyone could start one, and anyone could
edit it; there's no need for any one individual to own the entire
effort and keep it up to date!
best,
aaron
