Adding content without permission seems the right thing to do here.

Looking for any input on title formatting for posting a FAQ and other ways to fill out the repository. Should we only have the mods of the communities able to poste their own FAQs or should we be able to post them ourselves. How do we stop duplicates etc. Brainstorm away, there are no stupid questions/ideas

If I'm going to post a FAQ I have no ownership on I might as well post this one
