I'd just as soon skip the FAQ myself.

Likewise.

Does any of this FAQ progress include the cheesebutt update or notation of our vote results over the years?

It could.

I was thinking we should add a simple

What is our "discipline" policy? Idiscipline is a bad word)

with the answer basically being this proposal msbelle "Sunnydale Press" Apr 19, 2003 12:02:50 am PDT

And a

How do I propose a change in the board?

We vote here at the Buffistas

Step One: Make a proposal in Bureaucracy
Step Two: There must be 4 "seconds" in Bureaucracy
Step Three: If there are enough seconds, a Stompy Foot will open up Lightbulbs.
Step Four: An Announcement linking to the discussion will be placed in Press
Step Five: There will be four days of discussion in Lightbulbs where all community members can weight in.
Step Six: After this discussion, the proposer makes a final proposal. He/She can reword the proposal based on discussion or choose to withdraw. Although it is not required, it is highly recommended that the proposer follow all discussion to craft a proposal that accommodates the wishes of the board
Step Seven: A volunteer for vote counting is taken
Step Eight: Lightbulbs is closed and the voting opened
Step Nine An announcement is placed in Press regarding the voting and stating the closing day
Step Ten: We vote for three days
Step Eleven: The volunteer vote counter announces the results
Voting Validation: A simple majority wins for each question. An option which receives more than 50% of the vote wins We encourage Yes/No/No Preference answers A "quorum' of 42 Buffistas must vote (including No Preference votess) for the vote to be valid Step Twelve: Action is taken or not based on the vote ,br> Step Thirteen: No more discussion of this topic is allowed for 6 months, at which time discussion is again open.

Wow, that is hard to read, but I gotta go back to work!

Full (outdated) cheesebutt text.

Butting my nose in again-

I am advocating for both the cheesebutt document and the simple answers I put above, either in the same document or in separate places, because I think cheesebutt is too much to wade through if you just want an answer to how many seconds you need or whatever.

ETA: Of course there is a short checklist in there, I just didn't see it. I am not sure whether or not that proves my point, or just points out my stupidity

We should address it in the header on the frontpage.

::snerk:: Always the radical, msbelle.

Personally, I'd rather not include Gus in the FAQ, because I just don't want to give whoever-he-was any more attention and bandwidth than he's already gotten from us.

Full (outdated) cheesebutt text.

To me that looks like a very separate project. I could maybe take that on later in the year, but maybe for now I could put a few brief procedural things within the FAQ as Sophia suggests.

BTW, I can see that the URL of the cheesebutt doc shows that it is hosted under the FAQ, but I don't see a link to the cheesebutt document in the FAQ itself. Is there one?

Is there one?

No. It was never made ready enough for prime time.
