Description

As some suggested initial topics for the FAQ:

• How Apache Arrow is related to Apache Parquet (the difference between a "storage format" and an "in-memory format" causes confusion)
• How is Arrow similar to / different from Flatbuffers and Cap'n Proto
• How Arrow uses Flatbuffers (I have had people incorrectly state to me things like "Arrow is just Flatbuffers under the hood")

Any other ideas?
