Here's the very rough draft of our platform independent FAQ: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=XBM...tforms_FAQ
The old general FAQ has now become the "intro to XBMC" type FAQ at: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=XBMC_FAQ
You might notice on the all-platform FAQ (and the iOS FAQ) questions are most often not formatted as questions. We found this actually makes it much easier to navigate the table of contents at the top because it makes the keywords stand out. It's a little strange, and there are a few times where putting it in question form is still best, but it seems to work really well on the iOS FAQ.
I based the sections on the suggested questions from this thread and ideas I had. We can change the sections or add other sections as needed. The "shortcut/anchor" link is there to help make it easier to link to questions when the "question" or title changes. In other words, use the shortcut/anchor link as a permeant link.
There are a lot of questions that will basically need a second page, either a new one or an existing one (which likely needs to be cleaned up ;) ) but that's also a function of the FAQ (to be a lead-in to other parts of the wiki, that is).
