+FAQ General
+-----------
+
+How can I get acquainted with OpenCV fast?
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+1. Look at samples.
+2. Look at some web guides
+
+    * http://www.cs.iit.edu/~agam/cs512/lect-notes/opencv-intro/index.html
+    * http://web.archive.org/web/20060715011915/http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/resources/courses/robotics/doc/opencvdocs/ref/OpenCVRef_ImageProcessing.htm
+    * stavens_opencv_optical_flow.pdf 
+
+3. Using C/C++ interpreter Ch to run OpenCV
+
+    * http://www.softintegration.com/products/thirdparty/opencv/demos/ 
+
+4. Within Visual Studio you may load OpenCV workspace:
+
+    * opencv.dsw for Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0
+    * opencv.sln for Miscrosoft Visual Studio .NET 2003
+    * cbuilderx/opencv.bpgr for Borland C++ BuilderX
+    * select cvsample project, build it and run. Look into the code and modify it as you wish. 
+
+5. Also, scan through reference manuals - they contain some example code as well.
+
+6. Search OpenCV archives at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/OpenCV for the topic you are interesting in.
+
+7. Create a new project from scratch or modify existing cvsample. There are
+   application wizards for Microsoft Visual Studio that create OpenCV-aware
+   projects; look for them at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/OpenCV (Files section
+   - you have to be registered OpenCV@yahoogroups.com user)
+
+How do I join the OpenCV forum?
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Send email to OpenCV-subscribe@yahoogroups.com , after you are a member and
+select your logon, you can read the web group at
+http://groups.yahoo.com/group/OpenCV. This mailing list is mirrored at gmane:
+http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.opencv so you can read it with a usenet
+client.
