Hi Chris--
A squeaky wheel sometimes gets grease. There are no authorized or
designated editors. Permissions are set-up so that everyone with the
following link can add questions and answers:
https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AZ5kt_Jb6O0yZGN2ZDQ5dzhfMjNmYncydnFnMg&hl=en&authkey=CLPDwPEP
But there can be some extra steps for some users, initially. Should
you not get editing access automatically, scroll down and click on
the "Edit" button in the lower right corner. Sometimes this sends an
email request to me requesting access which I approve instantly.
Other times people get follow-up emails with directions and sometimes
people have to access the FAQ .doc from their Google docs account
page. No matter the course, folks who follow-up on the links report
that they get editing access eventually. Rob D.
