Preliminary notes

The information here is copyright (c) Craig Cockburn 1994-2011,
please ask me if you want to use any material here for any purpose.

Since this FAQ was first posted in 1994, a number of new newsgroups have started to cater for Celtic countries. Where there is a FAQ for such a group, I have provided a pointer to that group's FAQ rather than duplicate the information in here.

This FAQ is a living document, if there's any corrections, additions or comments you'd like to make, please send them to me for the next edition. The usual major updates for the rtfm.mit.edu archive are the Celtic quarter days of 1-Feb; 1-May (Beltain); 1-Aug; 1-Nov (Samhainn)

Accents in this document are represented by a / or \ after the vowel in question e.g. e/ represents e-fada (=e acute)
