FAQ's (Frequently Asked Questions) are documents which list the answers to common questions on a particular topic. They are meant to be time savers, as there is no need to find the answer to the same question over and over again. They also make sure that participants in a given activity all have the same basic knowledge. Such groups can then move on to more complex or important issues without having to stop and recap for each new participant.
I do realize that my coverage is skewed towards my own interests (duh), but I will be adding to and broadening the focus of this list over time. Of course if you have a FAQ you would like to see here, please let me know.
