Well, in this case, she started with an existing FAQ, and rewrote it from
the ground up. So if we can't use her FAQ, and we write a new one, how
do we declare ours to be the 'official' FAQ and have hers declared dead?

There is a group that is actively writing a new FAQ, so if we can have
that one declared to be the official FAQ, that would be all right.
