The link in the text - the one at the bottom seems fine.

I really think almost all of this information belongs in the official
docs and not in a separate FAQ. If this is to be a list-specific FAQ
(i.e. how to use the mailing lists and Gossamer archive effectively)
will it be posted regularly? I don't recall many questions asked about
running MythTV on Windows (which you can't, because you always need a
Linux-based backend to connect to) or for downloading TV shows and
films.

I think a big problem going forward for the MythTV project is to try
and ensure that documentation is more concentrated (not less so) so
that a user doesn't have to search for hours and visit many different
websites and wikis to find the answer (that's just a personal opinion
based on my own experiences!).

Good luck with the FAQ though - the more reliable information
available, the better.
