That's a nice idea.  Make it a live webpage in a section of the FAQ
and people can fill it out as they go (especially regarding the "not
installed" bit...).  If OpenBSD shipped a version as part of the standard
install and mapped 'help $1' to 'man -k $1; grep $1 instcatalog' (where
instcatalog contains the keywords and a URL for the record on said web-
page) it might even get used.
