SC - FAQ/Intro

>>"to exchange and redact recipes":  Many beginning cooks have no clue
what the
word "redact" means.  Our intro shouldn't send them running to a
dictionary.
I would like to suggest using "translate/modernize" instead.  These terms
would be easily recognizable by anyone, even if they can't boil water.<<


True!  I'd been doing redacting for years before I ever heard the term! 
Could you put translate/modernize into parenthese following the word
'redact', please?  Then, they will learn the word we use so much.  Our
FAQ should be read by a neighbor or family member who knows nothing about
the SCA; if it's understandable to them, we go for it.
