We're going to put a FAQ here, a la Support FAQ.

Please start by extracting questions and answers from the minutes linked to from the bottom of Deployment meetings. Insert your FAQ into the appropriate heading (or create a new heading) and ensure that you put your answers as briefly as possible, most likely linking off to another location (such as the Deployment Guide).
