i've just reinstalled the faq at ctan help/uk-tex-faq and at http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq

there has been a very long delay since v3.12, for various reasons. the changes list (appended) looks impressive, but isn't very startling for nearly 6 months' work.

i have been doing experiments about presentation of the faq, and i'm hoping to have an entirely new mechanism in a few months' time. in the mean time i shall try to install updates in a more timely fashion.

so, if you have been, thanks for listening.
