I think this sounds pretty dangerous.   F-spot is a great product, and I 
don't think having a second artificially created website will make it 
any more accepted or popular.

Also, I think it would be bad to have a FAQ maintained separately from 
the main website - it would mean that the core contributors would have 
to log into two places to maintain things.

Any time you put documentation in two places, you greatly increase the 
likelyhood of it going out of sync.

However, having a FAQ section/page on the current site would be 
wonderful, and if you are still interested in doing it, I think that 
would be great!
