http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAQ is clearly pointed to from
http://fedoraproject.org/
http://fedoraproject.org/ is clearly pointed to from
http://fedora.redhat.com/

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAQ points to other FAQ and forum-type
resources, including http://fedoraforum.org/

http://fedora.redhat.com/About/FAQ.html (less useful) has a clear
pointer in the top-right corner of every page of http://fedora.redhat.com/

There are tons of other interconnected pointers all over the place to
help people get where they need to go.
