I think a much better place for the FAQ Guide, along with all the other
official documentation, is http://doc.ubuntu.com. We could have
sub-domains branching off this, such as http://doc.ubuntu.com/faqguide.
All that would then need to happen is for us to replace any redundant
pages in the wiki with a link to http://doc.ubuntu.com/faqguide. Having
builds of our documents on a user-editable wiki is just asking for pain.
