The FAQ for the development forum is somewhat hidden, hardly anyone seems to read it. I doubt, many people would look for an answer to their problem in a thread called Development Read-me.
I would suggest moving the FAQ to a separate thread, named FAQ (:p) and give some more attention to it (maybe colorize the thread title or something)
Additionally I would suggest not to lock the thread, I believe this is more user-friendly, if people can add or discuss additions to the FAQ in the thread itself.
The purpose of a FAQ is to keep discussions and questions away from it.
Apart from that you're right, I don't know if I've ever opened it at all since I usually never read a forum read-me.
I don't know if we can color topic names, however. That'd probably be a task for prencher, who is our new techguy I think.
Yeah, a lot of questions that clog up the forums are ones that have been addressed 100x before, or that have a tutorial. Basic things like "why is my unit a white orb" and such.
Actually I had the FAQ as its own sticky, however Twinmold20 decided to delete it an add it to a "mix" topic which I never liked. Ill make this a project to make it its own thread and get it updated.

We have a FAQ???
Definitely needs stickying then, and a more obvious name :p

Would be nice to have an extremely visible FAQ.
