This is probably a dumb question, but what has to be maintained? After all
these years, aren't the FAQs pretty "set in stone"?

FAQs, at least the good ones, are not set in stone. They should get periodic
updates and those updates should get posted or announced in the relevant groups.

Some of the FAQs (e.g. r.a.m) seem to be maintained currently and some are
not. The ones that are you could mirror or link. (mirrors are usually always
welcome but check with the maintainer first) The ones that are not maintained
currently you would have to adopt and maintain. I think you could find a
volunteer or two around here to own parts of the FAQ and provide updates as
needed. A (*gasp*) collaborative effort.


Can't I just copy/paste it into a page, and be done?

You could but the idea with the stale ones would be to revitalize them, get
them up to date add any recent FAQs not already covered, etc.
And the ones maintained currently could be mirrored.

mirrored == you pull the content on some regular basis from the
maintainer site.
