        It is. You can check the archives if you want. Subscribing
might not be the best idea since there is a *lot* of traffic.

        There should be more documentation in savannah.gnu.org/docs. 
Two or three people are more or less working on it but it's currently
empty. I guess that browsing an digesting the savannah-hackers archives
would be a usefull way to build a good FAQ.
