Actually, at least the way you phrased them, they are in the FAQ.
You perhaps need to be more specific in your questions.  And the second
part of your question (locales) is in the FAQ.

Great.  If you have something you think needs to be added to the FAQ
let me know.  

I thought the motd.php was in the FAQ, but it isn't.  It
certainly is in the list archives.  Not to mention it is well commented
and examples given in the current CVS HEAD (at least) version.

I'll try to add motd.php to the FAQ though, as soon as I find time. 
You're posts at least pointed out this omission.

Still a good answer to the question as posed.

Ditto, and in the FAQ.

Either the FAQ addresses this, or you need to rephrase your question so
we know why the FAQ doesn't cover it.

"TAD (Technology Attachment Disorder) is an unshakable, impractical devotion
to a brand, platform, product line, or programming language. It's relatively
harmless among the rank and file, but when management is afflicted the damage
can be measured in dollars. It's also contagious -- someone with sufficient
political clout can infect an entire organization."
