Falar mentioned in another thread about how he thought about making a FAQ thing to help with stuff that gets asked a lot. My first thought was a Google doc would work great using headers and a table of content, but you'd only be able to link from one spot (AFAIK), so I was thinking maybe wiki pages would be better? Could we (and would we) be able to use the Shadowrun Wikia for this? I'd be willing to help out with some of keeping it up to date.
I think the idea would be to have answers pointed to from both a book listed (Street Grimoire -> How does spell blades work?) or general area (Spells -> How does spell blades work?) and then link back to forum posts and color code based on how valid the answer is (Actually in book or errata, writer poster, community guess). What do people think?

personally a doc in a sticky in the general forum.
No need for index just place the question in alphabetical order by subject.
How does Spellblade work?
The subject of the question is spellblade therefore it's placed under S.
However, it still won't answer half the questions since people are divided on many of them.

In that case we could link the argument thread and call it a day

I second this for selfish reasons. All things Google are blocked in China.

A stickied post will just get messy and full of people being pissy and dumb and not actually putting in stuff that's important.
I'm personally partial to a non-official hosting location (Google Docs, Google Sites, Wikia, Reddit Wiki) just to make sure that it is seen as a 100% unsupported by CGL effort by some fans.

I would have no issue pinning a post with a link to said document.

Take a look at SR5-FAQ (http://sr5faq.wikia.com/wiki/SR5-FAQ_Wikia).
I've thrown up not a lot, but it should give the idea of how I'm expecting to do stuff.

Nice. Thanks for starting that
