Since you asked. I signed on because I am an editor. I help proof
draft-finals, and check links. There hasn't been much call for this
particular skill set lately; nobody has posted a draft-final text for
proofing or link-checking in rather a long time. I stand ready when this
does occur. Not everyone on this list is here to write; there are FAQ
production support roles.

Way cool! I'm looking forward to the Dark Mark stuff; I'd given a list of
posts to Porphyria back when she was doing Snape, that discussed Dark Mark
stuff, but she (correctly, I think) decided that it wasn't Snape-specific
enough to include with that one, and set the list aside to help support a
later FAQ. I wasn't sure if there was, overall, enough stuff for Dark Mark
by itself, or if it would be rolled into a larger one.

Would be happy to help proof or link-check when you put it up.
