Re: Request for ideas: New developer FAQ

New developers need quite a time to familiarize themselves with the rules and conventions in PEAR. With the new role of mentors in PEAR2, they will have a contact person they can ask in that cases. Often, the same questions will get asked which will get boring for the mentoring developer, so we need a Mini-FAQ with a list of things the newbie should know. As all of you have been new to the project - which information should go onto that list? Adding a new package to CVS was a bit confusing. A step-by-step guide to adding your newly approved package would be nice. I believe that info might be somewhere in the manual, but I don't think it is quite right. I think I found the info I finally used on the mailing lists somewhere. If it is someone else, a link to that document in the FAQ might be a good idea at least.
