Put together by some of the subscribers to the Copyediting-l Style mailing list, this project is neither a "style guide" (in the sense of a set of proscriptive recommendations) nor a Copyediting-l mailing list "FAQ" (frequently asked questions list, with answers uncritically culled from the list archives). Rather, it is "a distillation of informed opinion on a number of editing questions." It is informed by "the desire ... to capture and distill the diverse opinions of the list participants, and somehow measure the breadth of support for each point of view." A group of the list subscribers thus volunteered to coordinate the project by posting the questions, collecting and consolidating the discussion, and finally putting each question to a general vote.
