Yes, but only say 1x per day ... this way the real content,
updates etc, make it to www, and are indexed there by search
engines and the SourceCast search indexer.  Also, as per
Jesse's suggestion, if a user visits those pages, they will
be redirected to the "live" Wiki FAQs over on java.net, so
that a) they see absolutely latest version; and b) they can
edit them if they want!  Does this sound OK ?

Thanks Vincent!

Should be fast - 1 or 2 days.  Though Zaheda is out sick
at the moment ...

Oh ... er ... don't know :-)  Just use your judgement I
think, see those that are done for examples.  Keep it simple
and consistent.  Seems to be pretty easy to change if we
make mistakes.
