-==== Possible revisions to this page ====
+====Completed revisions====
-This page is overly long and poorly organized. Possible ideas for reorganizing:
+#Sections have been reorganized, with several new subroups
-* Split the Troubleshooting section off to a separate page
+#Redundant questions have been consolidated
-::Possible; that is the longest section, and the most likely to grow even further.
+#Some outdated questions have been removed
-::Splitting off only the Warning and Error Messages subsection to a new page is also a possibility, and less disruptive. That subsection may have the most potential for expansion.
+#Questions whose answers are now a link to the relevant section of the User's Guide:
-* More radically, put each section on a subpage and make the main FAQ page a table of contents to those pages
-::This would greatly increase the maintenance burden, as that page would have to be manually kept up-to-date. Probably not a good idea.
-* Create more subgroupings like the Graphics, Sound, and Networking sections; possibly Fonts and Input Devices
-::(Currently being done; see Work in progress below)

-====Work in progress====
-#The Troubleshooting section has been reorganized with additional subgroups; currently focusing on doing the same for other sections
-#Several redundant questions have been consolidated; more work to be done on that
-#The Wine User's Guide is now on the wiki, and some of the info currently in the FAQ really belongs there.
