+FAQ
+---
+
+Why doing a federated calendar when you can send around vCard files via email?
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Because this project is about much more than a plain calendar.  It’s also an event organiser,
+where you will be able to collaborate with others making events happen.
+
+Why is it not on GitHub/GitLab/any other popular hosting service?
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Because running my stuff is one of my hobby.  I run my own Matrix homeserver, my own Mastodon
+instance, why would my Git repositories be different?  It might change in the future, though; I’m
+not an enemy of said services and if this project turns out to be successful I might move it away
+from here.
