The FAQ update: Answer the frequently asked questions!

My apologies for the misunderstanding of the FAQs before submitting the Stack Exchange proposal on Area 51. However, I had difficulty getting a grasp of what was expected, from the first to the eleventh time reading it.

  • How to find where to start? It seems it's not an FAQ since it's not listed, but one close to it is: "How do I start a new site?" I thought it would be answered there, mentioning where the user goes to start. It wasn't.

  • What is considered committing? The terms "commit" and "follow and design" are considered synonyms to me, but apparently, they're considered different stages (still my guess).

  • What counts as sample questions? I assumed "sample questions" meant close to "example questions", meaning questions that would possibly be asked at the Stack Exchange being proposed. However, it's occasionally mentioned how we also discuss what's okay, not okay, considered for approval, etc. Would those be counted as questions or discussions?

The design of the Area 51 site is not working well, guys. As of now, we have to find our way to ask questions to find answers to have others ask questions. Where do we find the place to submit the proposal? Not listed in FAQs or even the footer or nav bar. It would be lovely if those get updated soon.
