Great.  I haven't used the C FAQ much recently, but certainly I
have referred to it many times in the past.  Based on the rest of
your message it looks like you are in for countless hours of fun
and excitement. ;)

There is one suggestion/request I would like to make about the
website itself.  Please make the http://... urls work directly,
and not redirect through the https://... urls.  (Having the
https://... alternate urls work also is perfectly okay, I'm not
suggesting that they should be removed, only that there be no
automatic redirection.)
