What we need are actual Frequently Asked Questions - what questions plague the lists/IRC/forums/etc? A FAQ section is of little use if it doesn't contain stuff people are always wondering about...
Somehow I can't get rid of the feeling, that the team developing the new site is still convinced that everything in the wiki is not useful, completely outdated or -I don't know- incompetent, unmaintained, never actually accessed and read by users, and needs to be abandoned or deleted.
I can tell you that in my answers to support questions (irc, forums, launchpad) there isn't a week without me providing a link to one of the FAQs currently answered in the wiki.
Yes, the FAQ has only seen few recent questions added and needs updating, but many of the topics there are still valid, including the answers provided, and are part of current frequently asked questions.
Possibly a section with links to externally written detailed FAQ articles - like recently provided by Alexandre Prokoudine and Ryan Lerch - could be added.
