Sir? I'd like you to take the helm, please. I need this man to tear all my clothes off.

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

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

I look more rad than Lutheranism
We should address it in the header on the frontpage.

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.

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?

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

For what it is worth, I have agreed with everything Steph has said on this issue, but especially this comment.
Which is why I'm hating myself for allowing my entire morning to be eaten by going back in time to revisit something that I really should have left alone...then and now.

What she said.
Where can we get t-shirts/sign/bumperstickers that says "What Teppy said"? It would make life simpler, and baffle the hell out of my meatspace co-habitants.

I think writing it down once and being able to say "RTFF" takes up less bandwidth than rehashing it every time someone pops up to say "I wasn't around then, what happened?"
Putting it in the FAQ takes it out of Natter.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Maybe the faq can be like, "What or who is Gus?" with a link to the bureau discussion following the death announcement.
OTOH, the reason the faq hasn't been updated in so long is because we don't have a lot of newbies with frequently asked questions. So I doubt we'll be getting that one a lot.
