I was picturing a guide specifically for mid-level to advanced 2600 
programmers to look up tricks and strategies.  Most of the information in 
the current FAQ is information about getting started in 2600 programming 
and prepares you for the Stella Programmer's Guide.  The guide I'm working 
on is more of a reference and advanced supplement to the Stella 
Programmer's Guide.  IMHO merging it with the FAQ would add a lot of 
information that you don't want to have to wade through when you're trying 
to find a specific programming trick or brushing up on programming 
skills.  The FAQ is pretty big and my guide will be roughly 1500-2000 
lines.  But my guide is only being compiled by me and was really written by 
the 2600 programming community so I'd like to hear other people's opinions 
on this.
