On the other hand, this is ripe for profiteering. If *all* the info is
easily accessible it takes the wind right out of the sails of the a*hole
who intends to sell "DIY_GMEFI for Dummies". This is where the whole
concept of "open source" software comes from. I find it very fulfilling to
participate in such a project with little more than a reference as a
contributor. Apparently *many* other people agree.

As for the abbreviations: I'd expand the descriptions for more confusing
items. Hell, I'll dump your extras in my now ancient glossary if it's
easier.

Note that abbreviations is not an easy one to source contributors.
A FAQ, on the other hand, should respectfully reference the original
source. Try any major FAQ list for how to do it. I didn't necessarily do
it correctly, but for hints...

I've got no problem with contributing to a freebie website, but it would
piss me off too to see *anyone* selling that same info.

-greg    CVS is cool, even if it's not an EFI term.  :)

PS--I *had* a link to http://www.thrasher-ep.com/cal_hints.htm. A gem of a
resource and now it's gone. So much for just referencing the originals.
