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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

I vote for no vote. We don't vote on FAQ edits in general, so why would we vote on a whole bunch of FAQ edits? I just don't see anything constructive coming out of it.

I don't care whether there's a vote or not. I am concerned that everyone will have a comment on something, and then a comment on everyone's comment, and it'll be a zoo for the people who have to edit. Arguing about what is a proper factual representation is what I do for a living, so I'm not sure this is a good limitation. But I don't know how open for argument this FAQ will be.
