Hi,
I've noticed there are a lot of broken links in the FAQ. Some point to
questions that have been removed, some to external resources that have
disappeared. The diff below lists the ones that I've found. (The diff
is not good enough to apply as-is, it's only intended to point out the
location of the links.)
Regards,
Peter De Wachter
