I would go even further and sprinkle FAQ links liberally throughout the site. There's an awful lot of fine print on every perl monks page, so just one link is going to get lost in the noise. You might even be able to save some space by using it liberally in combination with question marks...for example, instead of Chatterbox... How do I use this?, you could just print the nodelet title as Chatterbox ? and leave out the How do I use this? hint. The question mark notation is self-explanatory/unobtrusive enough that vroom could use it many places on the site and have it link either to the general FAQ or specific faqlet areas.
I think the single most useful spot for it would be above the SOPW question box as "Add Your Question?"

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
