The problem with a FAQ is no one maintains it.  This isn't just a VTK problem 
but one endemic of all projects it seems (look at Cygwin!).

Anyway, you asked for other opinions and I personally liked your suggestion of 
an announce list or even announcements in this list.  I pulled the VTK from the 
CVS and now found out that vtkRectilinearGrid changed when I tried compiling my 
code.  I don't know how I would have known this without an announcement...

Anyway, a moderated vtk-announce might be a nice addition, plus I like to see 
these things in my email for the same reason KRS mentioned; I'm always in email 
and never at the FAQ.

Speaking of Cygwin, I suppose more people have noticed VTK doesn't build anymore 
in it.  I finally got it to compile everything, but my software still doesn't 
work... :-(
