Ya! I like this.

Todd told me offline he's thinking of empowering someone to do some
content organization in the /reviews/ part of LUGNET.

Bad idea.

This is somewhere where the bazaar method is presenting us a ready made
answer, although it isn't TODD's code. Let's go with the FAQoMatic
approach here (and maybe extend it to the overall FAQ too??) as long as
someone with smarts has perused the actual content with an eye to
inhalability if it doesn't pan out.

have others dealt with faqomatic sites?

If this is something I could install or have installed on my domain
(guarded-inn.com) and then let someone else have the responsibility
for maintaining it, I wouldn't mind hosting it.  Since this would all
be text (or mostly) I can't see space becoming an issue, even with
thousands of reviews.

My domain be active until I'm dead or until the net goes away,
whichever comes first.

I just looked at the Faq-O-Matic stuff - it looks ultra-cool.
Actually might fulfill a need I have on a web project I'm working on
right now.

(...) Well, if it needs to be hosted elsewhere I can do that. I can also look into giving a single trustworthy person limited telnet access to my account to actually install and get it working. Or Todd can host it and I can just use it. :) (25 years ago, 18-Aug-99, to lugnet.reviews, lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Not thinking of it; already offered it. (...) Why do you say it's a bad idea? Every section of the LUGNET website (not just /reviews/) can use a curator or a set of co-curators for content and links organization. (Currently, I'm curating all (...)
