I think a better hypothesis is this one: Perhaps if there actually were 
a good FAQ, the SOB might put it up prominently in some place?

Simply put, you're confusing content with visibility. The board has 
ample opportunity to make things visible but if the content is bad (like 
in your FAQ that was a bunch of scraped Emails from Squeak-dev) wide 
visibility is actually harmful.

Make that five. More importantly, the opposition is towards 
impersonating the board, calling your blog squeakboardsomethingorother, 
pretending it would actually represent the board. I'm pretty sure nobody 
on the board is opposed to a good FAQ, but I'm also pretty sure nobody 
likes some random guy pretending to represent the board in his private blog.
