As far as I am concerned, http://puredata.org/docs/faq should go  
straight PdFAQ.  I think that it used to do that.  I didn't set up the  
index_html page, and I don't think its very useful.  I might have tried  
to rename PdFAQ to index_html in the past, though I don't remember.

I was trying to change the PdFAQ and this change looks like it  
succeeded this time.  But I had committed a Q/A about where Mac OS X  
keeps it preferences, and I even sent that link to the list, but that  
entry seems to have disappeared entirely.

Sounds like you know better than me, please make the change to the FAQ  
:)
