Post subject:  Writing the Frequently Asked Questions page (new site project)
Hi all -

We are in the process of rewriting the "FAQ" page for the new site project. The existing FAQ is very old, and needs to be updated.

I'd like to get the community's perspective on the "most frequently asked questions" that we commonly encounter on the board. I have a few in mind already. Please post anything in this thread - all ideas are welcome. Also, don't feel like you need to provide an answer with each question: providing the answer is up to us. ;)

Example questions:

1. What is Shipbucket scale?

2. What is FD scale?

3. How do I draw a ship?

4. How do I properly credit a drawing?

5. What is the best software to draw a ship on XYZ operating system?

6. What is the template?

7. Can I use the drawings for commercial purposes?

... and so on. Any/all suggestions are welcome!

How/Where do I find out about ship Badges?
