Thought I'd send out an update, as I've been 'tweaking' quite a bit, and
that ALWAYS causes problems :-)

The HP3000 FAQ is up and fully converted over to 'TWiki' format. There's even
a few updated items, and I'm now starting to go through my backlog of email
history from the past few years (I kept a folder of potential faq-worthy
topics).

I did, however, move it. I had created a new site (twiki.3k.com) where I
was hosting just the FAQ TWiki... Unfortunately I discovered that moving
all that nice data off www.3k.com (a Google PR6 site) and onto a 'new'
(probably still in Google's sandbox) PR0 site, caused most of the content
to promptly disappear from Google search results :-(

I've now moved all the content (and the TWiki) back onto www.3k.com. If
anyone had the twiki.3k.com pages bookmarked, they all get transparently
redirected to the new location. Many of the old static html faq pages will
be getting redirects in the near future as well (some have already).

Hopefully all those pages will reappear in Google results shortly... I
just recreated a new Google sitemap and fed it to them, so we'll see.

In the meantime, quick link to the new FAQ:
  http://www.3k.com/twiki/bin/view/TWiki/HP3000FAQ

I'm still working on the 'command file' collection (it's being copied into
the TWiki environment as well to make contributing and updating easier).
It's at: http://www.3k.com/twiki/bin/view/TWiki/Hp3000CommandFiles

I also setup a (HP3000 related only) Job postings area on the TWiki, to
replace the old Cold-fusion based system we ran many years ago (and which
has been offline for several years). In the wiki format adding and updating
should be much easier for anyone interested. You can see it at:
http://www.3k.com/twiki/bin/view/TWiki/HP3000Employment

Finally, I've been trying to update the FAQ content giving credit to original
authors wherever possible; some of you appear in the topic list as wiki
words ;-) -- though there is no 'content' for any of them. If you'd like to
add a public bio or any other information about yourself, check the main
topic list at: http://www.3k.com/twiki/bin/view/TWiki/WebTopicList
or search for your wiki name (FirstnameLastname) at:
http://www.3k.com/twiki/bin/view/TWiki/WebSearch
and if your name appears on the list, click on it and feel free to wiki-edit
it. While you're at it, if you see any info in the FAQ that's out of date
or incorrect, feel free to correct it. You can also add new topics just as
easily.

If you're not familiar with 'wiki'; a word in a topic that is highlighted and
followed by a small "?" is a (as yet) undefined WikiWord. You click on the "?"
and (assuming you have registered) will be allowed to edit (or provide)
content for that WikiWord. Try it - it's easier than it sounds :-)

The registration process is easy and automated; info you provide for regis-
tration isn't used for anything other than your wiki access.
