[OS X TeX] FAQ or Archive

[Alain Schremmer]

"Historical information" is a bit disingenuous as, presumably, the 
point is to make it easier for "(beginning?) users".

It is certainly the case that, technically, " "information, and 
LaTeX/TeX resources" covers it. "

Yet, the fact is that the rest of us, at least, do respond to certain 
cues such as FAQ. It doesn's seem to cost much to anyone to add such 
cues as have been suggested and, if will help making it a bit easier 
and less frustrating to "challenged" people such as myself to learn 
La/teX, it would be cost well spent.

As I have said before, and as I practice in my own corner, I don't care 
about much as long as it will help students learn. (Which is why I am 
learning the \*!%&//?@\\ LaTeX in the first place.) This might be the 
only case where I have not found much wrong with the end justifying the 
means. The fact is that, in learning situations, we allow far too many 
foreign considerations to interfere with the learning process to begin 
with.

Respectfully,
Regards
