Thanks for putting this together.
Thanks for the copy editing! :)
Revised version:
== Advocacy is a critical part of supporting a movement like Free Software. It is part education, part advertising. It is where we share our enthusiasm for Free Software and in the process make other people enthusiastic about it too. This is where every fellow can make a significant contribution to the FSFE and share our ideals with computer users, computer programmers and technology enthusiasts everywhere.
Advocacy is not just formal lectures. You can advocate Free Software when you talk to your coworkers, when you attend a conference and when you visit a user group. Advocacy is about engaging people with our ideals in a positive and constructive manner.
There are no enforced rules to advocacy. However, there are some tips to help ensure that audiences are engaged and and goals are accomplished. This part of the fellowship site is intended to collect our tips together so we can improve and coordinate our individual advocacy. If you have presentation notes, tips or guides you would like to see added please email <INSERTEMAIL>. ==
I added the text and FAQ to the advocacy section of the site: http://www.fsfe.org/en/advocacy
However, I'm not sure how to edit things. I wanted to change the FAQ title from "FAQ for advocating Free Software" to "FAQ for advocating Free Software - English version"

Small thing: I don't like using the word "advertising", it's often associated with liars trying to sell you something.
I prefer to talk about awareness, either raising, building, or spreading awareness.

How about "engagement"? The corrected first paragraph could then read:

Now, I have a problem with editing some of the stuff in the Advocacy section of the site. I wanted to change the FAQ title from "FAQ for advocating Free Software" to "FAQ for advocating Free Software - English version" but there is no edit button. Perhaps Stef could lend a hand?
Shane, who is an idiot with this CMS stuff.

I am not sure of what problem you see. If I go to http://fsfe.org/en/advocacy/faq I see the 'edit' button. Clicking on 'edit' I see a page that says:
The currently published version is 6 and was published at Friday 14 July 2006 12:07:26 pm.
The last modification was done at Monday 17 July 2006 12:21:25 pm.
The object is owned by shane.
This object is already being edited by someone else. You should either contact the person about the draft or create a new draft for personal editing.
and there is a 'new draft' button. If you see it and click on that button you can create another version of the document that supersedes the old one.
eZ has a versioning system internally, so history of modifications can be traced. HTH, but if not, I am on jabber today.
