Feb 2, 2011 at 11:00 comment added Kaveh @Suresh, thanks for the update. It would be nice to emphasize research-level in the general FAQ's "rough outline" part, because I think that is a part of the description/definition of the site. Right now the "rough outline" in the general FAQ only explains what is TCS and has no emphasis on being research-level.
Feb 2, 2011 at 10:58 comment added Kaveh I would like to edit the entry for our FAQ also, it seems that it is not clear enough about what does research-level means. Can I add something like: "Research-level" means, roughly, questions that might be discussed between two professors, or between graduate students working on Ph.D.'s, but not usually between a professor and the typical undergraduate student. It does not include questions at the level of difficulty of undergraduate homework.
Feb 2, 2011 at 9:18 comment added Raphael "Our" FAQ is definitely missed by many people, leading to quite a number of off-topic questions even by people who care to read the FAQ first. So we should do something about that.

Feb 2, 2011 at 6:26 comment added Tsuyoshi Ito @Suresh: What is “landing page”?
Feb 2, 2011 at 0:27 comment added Suresh Venkat Mod I think we should. also, I had asked a question on meta.SO about changing the landing page, and the recommendation is that instead of listing a single link for the official FAQ, we should list all the questions on the landing page directly.
