Sort of.  There is the Meta-FAQ which is supposed to somewhat serve this 
function.  Most of the links on it tend to be the ones that are more or 
less constant.  It does need to be updated, tho (doesn't it always ;-)

Since I tend to do it in bursts, it's hard to tell.  I can work on it 
non-stop for days.  However, a few hours a week would probably be sufficient.

This might be a good idea, any kind of information collection can be helpful.

Later.
