I came about a blog post written by Jon Skeet towards the end of last year entitled [Writing the perfect question](http://msmvps.com/blogs/jon_skeet/archive/2010/08/29/writing-the-perfect-question.aspx) (He also has a post entitled [Answering technical questions helpfully](http://msmvps.com/blogs/jon_skeet/archive/2009/02/17/answering-technical-questions-helpfully.aspx)). In it he offers some very good advice for writing good questions on SO. Some of the advice might not translate to PSE very well but I believe that most of it will.

Seeing that there has been a lot of discussion here in the past few days about some of the deep rooted issues with the site (closing questions, viral up voting, good answers...), I wonder if this is a good time to discuss updating our FAQ? We could incorporate some of Jon's advice or add a section for answers (as most of the FAQ is about quesitons).

Is it time to update our FAQ? What should be changed/added/removed?
