The only problem I can foresee is scale. There is plenty of ground to cover
and it cannot fit within a digestable post. How about a FAQ post which
contains many links to mirrors, as well as brief answers?

Would that not intimidate/confuse non-regulars? I suppose not...

I agree. In my mind, due to the nature of the question, this appears to be an
SEO forum. It also discusses search engines, but usually in the context of
(improving) site rankings, made-up links and the like.

Since all of us should be (or have the opportunity to be) involved in writing
such a FAQ, which should be posted fortnightly or monthly, how about setting
up a Wiki where that repeatedly-posted FAQ can be built and continuously
updated? I'd happily volunteer.
