I stumbled on this community out of the blue, and read the FAQ (sounds interesting). May I provide a suggestion for newbs such as me: Please add a ‘Why/What’ section at the very beginning of the FAQ. Specifically, What problem does The Invisible Internet Project address, and why (in 1-2 sentences) does the Invisible Internet Project’s solution work. I see the “The I2P network is an Overlay Network. The Invisible Internet Project began in 2002 and has been active since that time.”, but it does not start with why I2P is needed, and what the overall goals of the project are. The next block is “how”, which should be after “what” and “why our solution”.

After reading, i think I understand, but I almost clicked off when I had to dive through the text to understand what was going on. Only thing that kept me here was the interesting name of the community. A blurb at the top of the FAQ would be very beneficial for people like me. (and maybe open comments on the FAQ to allow for suggestions to improve the FAQ). Subscribed to see the project and community grow.

    Good suggestion. I’ll see if I can’t add something like that. Thanks for taking the time to write this up instead of just clicking off.

      If I may, I have a community started that is a repository of FAQ/Wikis from different communities. I provided the community link below if you feel like posting a link in it with the direct link to your FAQ and community. I’m starting with the communities I’ve subbed first, but hopefully it will help spread interest and information on other communities as well.

        Good idea. I’ll add a link. I don’t have an account on dbzer0.com and for some reason linking doesn’t work right now. I’ll check back later.
