I said I'm sorry. I've made mistakes, but fear was never one of them.

Do you FAQ ladies have an idea on how the community will go about reviewing it? Is it too early to discuss how to keep the new FAQ from getting mired in a community-wide editorial process?
Very good questions. We have discussed how to present it, but I'd like to hear from others. Basically we have the new FAQ, and then we have the old FAQ with all the edits tracked. I am happy to share both documents with the community, but I am not really excited about the process of a community-wide edit party. Those of us who work on this did so because it was discussed as something some people saw as needing to happen and we did not select each other, we worked with all who expressed a willingness to be involved.
That is not to say that therfore our decisions wrt the FAQ MUST be accepted by the community, but perhaps just a up/down vote on accepting it or keeping the old one? I'd be willing to make that proposal next week. Open up Lightbulbs and take the alotted time to hear suggestions - changes could be made just like to any proposal - and then the community could vote.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
msbelle, how about opening it up for factual corrections only? Then you take those notes, perform any rewriting necessary and go with it. No style edits, no nothing, and once the first round of feedback is in you and the team have final say.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I think I understand msbelle to be saying we treat the FAQ like a proposal, talk about it for four days and let the proposers make the changes they wish, and then an up-or-down vote? This makes sense to me, though the FAQ ladies may wish to decide amongst themselves whether they want to take on the task of editing it in accordance with hundreds of posts of suggestions.

This sounds sensible. Do we even need to vote it? Can't we just put it up, and if there are errors, note them for correction?

Oh, there's no voting in my suggestion, believe me.

Here's the thing. I am pretty damn sure that if people have problems, they are gonna have problems with things being removed and/or tone - not facts.

Less work for you, then.

Sorry. That was actually clear. I just over affirmed.
