Us CoPress folk are trying to compile an FAQ about CoPress. You know, answering questions like: - Who's on the CoPress team?
- Where did CoPress come from?
But, frankly, it's really hard to ask yourself questions about… yourself. So, we figured it would be much more logical to ask you to ask us… Never mind, you get the point. So, do you have a question about how we run? What our mission is? Why we exist? Ask away, – we'll even answer you!  Cheers, –Joey | |

Questions I've already thought of: - What is the hosting and support that you offer? (not intending to be spammy, just to ask for a quick graf about hosting and support)
- How are you related to or different from Populous Project, Courant News, or Ochs?
- Is CoPress building a content management system (CMS)?
- How is CoPress different than a CMS, and why is this necessary?
- How did CoPress get started?
Looking forward to more… | |

| | More Hosting-related questions: - Does CoPress allow flexibility with CMS platforms or is it all WordPress?
- $65 a month seems like a lot; what does that get me above and beyond cheaper hosting alternatives? (similar to Daniel's above, but slightly different)
Other stuff: - Will CoPress always be run by college students? If not, then what are its plans for staying connected to the college community?

| | - Does a student publication have to host its site with CoPress to benefit from its resources?
- What can student journalists and others do to get involved with CoPress and support its mission?

| | - I could establish my publication's web presence with a can of Red Bull and 2 hours of free time. Why would I need CoPress? or (alternatively) What benefits would my publication see by 1) partnering with CoPress; 2) using CoPress services; or 3) participating in CoPress initiatives, such as the forum?
- Does CoPress offer services beyond web hosting?
- My newsroom is clueless when it comes to Twitter, Twatter, and Twooter. Can CoPress help?

| | The first questions I had when I was looking into CoPress (literally pulled these questions from an e-mail to Greg still in my drafts folder): - Will you have control of my site's design or do I get admin access to the back end?
- How long will the transition take from College Publisher to WordPress?
- What kind of data will be lost in a transition from CP to WP?
- How many sites are you capable of hosting/supporting? (And if you take on a lot of sites, will quality of support/hosting diminish?)
(P.S. I'm really bad at doing the simple math verification problems at the end of these posts) | |

| | Just wanted to thank ya'll for the help! I'm working on getting the answers compiled and questions sorted. Look to see something on this site in the near future (next week?). If you think of anything else you want to know, don't be afraid to add it. In the same vein, if the answers aren't to your liking, then feel free to let us know, we want to get the answers as right as possible. | |
