[DONE, but somehow else.]   

Just before we go online, all the relative links should be changed to absolute ones, but with "physicsoverflow.org" as the root. Which means, href="4912", href="?qa=4912", href="index.php?qa=4912" should all be changed to href="physicsoverflow.org/4912", and then the URL structure should be changed to /123/why-do-birds-spit.

We need a community-wiki plugin.             

 It is described here: http://question2answer.org/qa/32648/is-there-a-community-wiki-plugin-for-q2a   

Basically, under every post, there should be a box which can be checked by it's author or a moderator, such that when it is checked, the author does not gain or lose any reputation from the post, and the reputation barrier for editing is reduced (this should be possible to configure from Admin/Permissions).

The FAQ needs to be moved here just before we go public. The original question page will be kept for proposing policies and discussing them.
