+FAQ
+===
+
+You have questions we have answers!
+
+* Q: How does this project relate to the GNU Project or the Free Software
+ Foundation (FSF)?
+
+ * A: Many of the GNU Toolchain components are a part of the GNU
+ Project, and contribute to the development of the GNU system.
+ The FSF supports the GNU Project, and in turn supports the GNU
+ Toolchain. The GNU Toolchain community works with the FSF via a
+ working together fund (https://www.fsf.org/working-together/fund)
+ to support the development of the GNU Toolchain directly.
+ The Core Toolchain Infrastructure project is distinct from the
+ GNU Project and the FSF.
+
+* Q: How does this project relate to the GCC Compile Farm Project
+ (https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/CompileFarm)?
+
+ * A: The GCC Compiler Farm is a unique resource for the GNU Toolchain
+ and provides interactive systems for developers to manually test on
+ a wide variety of hardware and software configurations. This is not
+ exactly the same set of requirements that the community might have
+ for securing a supply chain, or using modern CI/CD workflows.
+
+* Q: How will the composition of the Core Toolchain infrastructure project
+ reflect the communities it supports?
+
+ * A: Members of the GNU Toolchain community will always be invited to
+ become members of the technical advisory cuncil for the project.
+
+* Q: What is the composition of the project steering committee?
+
+ * A: The project steering committee will be composed of sponsoring
+ members of the Linux Foundation and members of the GNU Toolchain
+ community.
+
+* Q: What does the project TAC do?
+
+ * A: The TAC takes input from the GNU Toolchain community and works
+ with the members to, implement, and resolve prioritized requirements.
+
+* Q: Is the GNU Toolchain development model going to change?
+
+ * A: No. The aim of the project is to provide additional infrastructure
+ for the community that is being made available to support the
+ GNU Toolchain. All development changes will always be driven by the
+ community.
+
+* Q: Is Sourceware (https://sourceware.org/) going to be deprecated?
+
+ * A: The GNU Toolchain Infrastructure project is distinct from Sourceware.
+ The intent is to move critical infrastructure from Sourceware to the
+ Core Toolchain Infrastructure project to provide paid services.
+
+* Q: Who can use the new infrastructure?
+
+ * A: That depends on the requirements given by the GNU Toolchain community.
+ The requirements from the community are input to the steering committee,
+ and so the answer depends largely on exactly what was the intended purpose.
+
+* Q: What can the new infrastructure be used for?
+
+ * A: That depends on the requirements given by the GNU Toolchain community.
+ The requirements from the community are input to the steering committee,
+ and so the answer depends largely on exactly what was the intended purpose.
