-==== FAQ ==== 
  
-  - **What are the motivations?** 
-    * Xfce is a desktop environment that comes with core components and some applications.  Xfce Directory provides a clean web interface to select quality data and is the first effort in good eye-candy selection for the end-user.  While it focuses on themes, it will grow and focus on applications aswell with a selection of end-user applications. 
-  - **Can I join the team?** 
-    * Sure, we always look forward for motivated people to maintain a bunch of data.  You will need a good sense of organization, and little time to decide if data is qualified for the website. 
-  - **How does the Xfce Selection work?** 
-  - **Can I upload content from another author?** 
-  - **Will there be a rating system?** 
-    * Not sure.  A 5 stars rating by anonymous users is a possibility, but the tags are more interesting.  Tags like good, very-good, awesome, ... those tags are either admin-defined or by number of downloads (delta between two dates would be more accurate and avoid an eternel TOP 1).
