[DOC] FAQ section

Would we benefit from some sort of FAQ section in the documentation?

because my version of conda was so old

Ah! Interesting - hearing this I think that it's because parcels now uses noarch to distribute on conda. Looking at the Conda Parcels listing we have v3.1.2 for noarch but v2.4.2 for the platform specific entries, but noarch is only supported from conda 4.3 it seems.

Perhaps this is worth us adding to an FAQ somewhere that people need conda >4.2...

Yep, very good idea to make clear that Parcels expects condo v>4.2.

Or can/should we also remove the older versions from condo?

Probably not (in case users really want to use an older version). I think an FAQ item is sufficient.
