Well it's time to get this often discussed and more often delayed project under construction. BuckeyePlanet needs a FAQ (frequently asked questions) section and we are attempting to fill that need. Several folks have already offered to help in one way or another.
bkochmc, Deety and BB73 have been added as Moderators so that they can help with the collaboration/editing/proof/writing/etc.
If you would like to help out, please send me a PM. After seeing our Table of Contents, you'll know we can use all the help we can get. At the moment, the FAQ is a new Forum. It could eventually stay a separate forum or be rolled into the in-line FAQ section contained in the vBulletin software. I guess there are pros and cons either way. It is a Forum at the moment to help foster a collaborative effort. Only an Administrator can edit the in-line FAQ section, but many others can help with the effort in this forum.
I have accepted responsibility for all of Chapter 1 (Deety is helping with some of that) and Chapter 2 through 2.6.13. If you would like to help with anything else, please let me know.
Additionally, this thread will serve as the discussion point for the whole FAQ section. If you have suggestions, comments, ideas, etc., please post them here ... not in the other individual threads. Thanks.
