You can't post on the FAQ's page. That is done by the admins. How they pick what to post I don't know. ~~Mimi

It's great to have so many natives listed in one resource but I thought the same thing on the definition of weed. Like desert senna which I go out of my way to nurture just like any great landscape plant. I also really wish those illustrations were photographs or at least larger and much more distinct. They were very fuzzy and hard to view when I looked at a half dozen.

Are there any special steps to saving and storing seeds from a fresh tomato? Yes. Good for you by the way. Saving your own seeds from open-pollinated tomato plants can be quite fun and it's easy to do. ;) Hope you don't mind if I refer you to another FAQ from the Seed Saving Forum. It's called How To Save Tomato Seeds that Trudi wrote sometime back and it is quite well written and detailed. It also explains how to dry, label, and store them once collected. I've also linked below a long discussion called Questions about Saving Seeds from last summer. It's about tomatoes specifically too and covers many of the finer points like decontamination etc. If you need more info feel free to drop me a line or post back here.
