Do we have any writers still on board? I remember some stuff was under revision--where does that stand? Are we shy volunteers?
Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

Because books.
I can rewrite/update the FAQ language on spoilers above. I'd be happy to revise anything else in the FAQ, too, but I don't know where that stands now -- I think possibly Sophia was working on some of it?

I think I posted at some point in Press about additions but no one responded with any, except Sophia, who has the legal document I believe.

So where do we stand in terms of next steps? I think that if no one spoke up, let's not wait on anything else. But we should make sure that we have as many changes as possible consolidated.
Jon, are you still on point for editing the FAQ documentation?
Also, there's CSS cleanup I need to do on the top left of the page. I keep forgetting. I need to put that down on my task list.

What I had (and could still have) is what I gave Nutty to do the cheesebutt document, which was a very simple "How do we Vote" set of directions. I think it is now embedded in the cheesebutt. I don't think we need the cheesebutt, just the simple directions, but then that led to people wanting to re-write the FAQ, and then it never gets done.

I think we do need cheesebutt because I think all the details should be documented somewhere so it doesn't have to be Nillied, but it's lower priority than a basic voting guide.

Jon, are you still on point for editing the FAQ documentation?
Sure, if someone gives me text, I can update & reupload the file.

The basic voting guidelines were (seriously) finished about 5 years ago. In fact, I am pretty sure it was longer ago than that, because I was at my last job! But as I said, they are embedded in the cheesebutt and I don't know where that is (as it never went live). I can re-do it, but I would rather someone pulled the existing guideline (or showed me where I can do it) rather than re-create it from memory.

Hey, look what I found: [link] I totally forgot that existed. Also: Cheesebutt.

So, I could wordsmith the voting checklist so that it is all in the same voice, and then we could post it? Who would I send it too.
Also, do we have a consensus now on how many days the voting thread is open- I was a little unclear on that.
