User:CallerNo6/CSG history and principles

Purpose

As mentioned on [mb-style], I want to work on a CSG "start here" page, and also on the fundamental questions such as "when should one apply the CSG?".

In order to start doing that, it'd help if there were some agreed-upon starting points.

This is my take on the development and underlying purpose of the CSG, past and present. Corrections and discussion would be appreciated.
