FAQ and Resource page
Some weeks ago, I drafted an initial version of FAQ,
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/EDI/Draft+FAQ, and
Resources,
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/EDI/Draft+Resources, pages.
I am troubled that there does not seem to be any subsequent activity. In
particular, various useful-looking links have been posted on the mailing
list without being added to the Resources page. Please, please add links
to the Resources page as you come across them, so they don't get lost in
the depths of the mailing list archives.
It would be nice if the committee would at some point decide whether to
make the unofficial drafts official, but that is less important.

Following up to say that I got the access I needed, and have added links
to everything I've posted so far, plus 2 new things people might find
useful:
* Tolerance is not a moral precept: An explanation of why tolerance is
more like a peace treaty than a moral absolute, and how intolerance or
repeated harassment can and must result in an intolerant response as a
form of self-protection.
https://extranewsfeed.com/tolerance-is-not-a-moral-precept-1af7007d6376
* Ableist words and terms to avoid: "This is a list of ableist words and
terms for reference purposes. Some of the entries are slurs, some are
descriptions of disabled people or other people with pathologized
identities/bodies/experiences, some are slang that derive from ableist
origins, and some are common metaphors that rely on disability and
ableism."

Unfortunately, I don't have access to edit the wiki (yet). I thought I
did, but I don't. I've filed a JIRA ticket asking for it. I'll go back
and add the links I've posted once that happens.

Fair enough. We probably need a bit more content before we have a vote,
but I'm happy to officially vote this in as a "work in progress" :)
