Hello,

This has been a long time coming, but this sub is finally getting an FAQ going. You will notice that the Wiki for this Subreddit is now enabled. We're sorry this took so long to get to, but was a big project for /u/LamentableLens to take on while being the only moderator for the Subreddit for the last several months.

For now, we are only giving edit permissions to moderators and a few select community members, but we need your help. Despite both of your moderators being fairly experienced Redditors, we do not in fact know everything. We want your ideas of what would be the most useful topics to include in the new FAQ. We really only need a list of topics, But please give as much information as you want.

If anyone has a background in wiki editing of technical writing, please let us know. We could use some help writing these articles. You have to be active on the Subreddit and able to write in good English with a neutral or friendly tone.

For now, we are focusing on English speakers. But If you really want to translate the Wiki/FAQ to other languages, we wouldn't be opposed to it once we get the English version up and going. We don't want to have to manage keeping multiple languages updated while making massive changes to the wiki. If you are interested in this, feel free to let us know. But it may be a long while until we are ready.

We would like to thank you in advance for taking your time to help your fellow photographers.
