Hi Ot,

thank you very much for your proposal. :-) I updated the Features page 
on the website.

After some consideration I decided against the FAQ because we have an 
awful lot of questions to answer, the FAQ should imho only be used for 
real important questions that can be answered in a short way.

I was asked several times how to install Java and Flash in Firefox and 
DektopBSD in general as well as NIDIS. I think it wouldn't be 
appropriate only to link to KDE and other resources outside DBSD. Imho 
it will be better to have some DesktopBSD specific howtos within the 
Wiki. People will be able to participate, the FAQ will remain short and 
we have the opportunity to answer questions in detail.

Any objections/suggestions? Is there anybody with ideas for other howtos 
needed? Somebody willing to participate? Please let me know!

Kind regards, Daniel
