+
+\section{General Questions}
+
+\subsubsection{What is \anuga?}
+
+\subsubsection{Why is it called \anuga?}
+
+\subsubsection{How do I obtain a copy of \anuga?}
+
+\subsubsection{What developments are expected for \anuga in the future?}
+
+\subsubsection{Are there any published articles about \anuga that I can reference?}
+
+\section{Modelling Questions}
+
+\subsubsection{Which type of problems are \anuga good for?}
+
+\subsubsection{Which type of problems are beyond the scope of \anuga?}
+
+\subsubsection{Can I start the simulation at an arbitrary time?}
+Yes, using \code{domain.set_time()} you can specify an arbitrary starting time.
+This is for example useful in conjunction with a file_boundary, which may start hours before anything hits the model boundary. By assigning a later time for the model to start, computational resources aren't wasted. 
+
+\subsubsection{Why does a file\_function return a list of numbers when evaluated?}
+
+\subsubsection{Which diagnostics are available to troubleshoot a simulation?}
+
+\subsection{Boundary Conditions}
+
+\subsubsection{How do I create a Dirichlet boundary condition?}
+
+\subsubsection{How do I know which boundary tags are available?}
+The method \code{domain.get_boundary_tags()} will return a list of 
+available tags for use with \code{domain.set_boundary_condition()}.
