Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Help pointing to TDF wiki

Hi :)
To be more correct it should really be F.A.Q. and the dots would play
even more havoc than spaces often do.  Also we should always say
G.N.U./Linux rather than Linux, G.N.O.M.E. and K.D.E.

However as acronyms become used more frequently they gradually drop
the dots and then drop the insistence of upper-case.  FAQ is old and
faq or Faq is likely to become quite common.
Regards from
Tom :)
