+What better way to build a FAQ than to have questions that are actually =
+"frequently asked", right?
+
+Well, as everyone has probably guessed by now, I'm not exactly an =
+above-average programmer... so I'm going to ask some very basic =
+questions that will probably get asked quite a bit by others of my =
+limited experience and expertise.
+
+1) Now that I have NeL, the Client, and Services packages all compiled, =
+what do I do with it to actually start building MY world?  Do I HAVE to =
+edit the code and recompile?  Or is this package meant to handle all =
+game-specific stuff in that /data directory, independant from the core =
+components?
+
+2) What are the limitations on world size, max number of connections, =
+etc, etc?  I understand there are obvious hardware restrictions that you =
+can't really say anything about... but I'm talking about software =
+restrictions (for example, will I run into problems with say, a bank =
+account in my game going over 64k in size due to an overflow?  Will I =
+have issues with my map being too big for the services to handle in =
+terms of latteral area?)
+
+That's it for now...=20
