Re: ?FAQs?

It occurred to me that the FAQ format is not necessarily the
best for supplementing the PHYS-L archive. A better way
would be a list of categories, for example, names of chapters
and sections and subsections from a typical textbook. The
list could be posted as a webpage. Each category would be
a link to a page with links to related PHYS-L messages.

In fact, a real textbook could be more useful to teachers
if it provided an instrument for fetching the PHYS-L
messages according to its content. A good project for a
group of veterans. Perhaps it can even be sponsored by
NSF, a publisher, or another agency. Links to articles
published in The Physics Teacher could be added to
the instrument in order to increase its usefulness.

I agree with Yanai that it would be very very useful to create
the FAQs archive for phys-L. Perhaps somebody is willing
to undertake this big job and make the archive available on
a webpage somewhere.

Hi,

Is there any kind of FAQs archive for phys-l?
If not why?

I think that a FAQs physics-l archive will be a good place
for many questions and examples. What do you think about?
