The problem with the FAQ is it gets increasingly difficult to keep it accurate across numerous Evolution releases, whereas the user docs for version 3.2 address the way things work in version 3.2, etc. On the other hand, the generated HTML pages [1] could really use a table of contents. I do still find the FAQ easier to search, though. There's something to be said for having all the answers on one page. It's a trade-off. I personally love the new user docs. Andre has done a fabulous job with it, continues to improve it, and is very responsive to bug reports. But there's room for improvement in how it's presented on the web.
