1632: FAQs

While the FAQs attempt to answer many questions if you have a question or think something obvious is missing you should bring it up in the 1632Tech conference. A favorite saying in the conference is that every once in a while a horse which has been beaten to death will suddenly kick or outright get up and start walking around when someone new asks questions. Don't let the existance of the FAQs keep you from bringing something up.
