We'd need some long term way to maintain an FAQ and keep it up-to-date.
We have problems now with the Framework changes each season causing us to revise how we instruct rookies.
It should be removed, as being terribly out-of-date, but there is a very simplistic
LabVIEW FAQ on CD left over from years ago when NI first introduced FRC students to LabVIEW. The language wasn't used to program the robot at the time.
Sticky threads could be used with the basic FAQ that everyone could then add to as new questions arose. One of the problems we have to deal with to maintain an FAQ is how much the answers change each season. Long ago I had a Programming-Getting Started sticky thread that lots of people contributed to. The problem with a thread was it became both unwieldy and more and more dated as the seasons passed.
A third possibility is to use FIRSTwiki where everything could be edited as they change year-to-year. I don't think there is an involved governing body in charge of FIRSTwiki anymore.

Perhaps you could help by supplying some of the questions then.
