Ya definitely the FAQ could come into play in a big way w.r.t. all of this.
Let's talk more in detail about the FAQ after the Handy Board list is all
settled in (might be a couple weeks) and the interface to the editing system
is more solidified (it's still kind of alpha jelly).
Anyway, here's a little demo of the new editing system -- what it can do...
I took the text from CLSotW pick #144 (Bonnie King's models) and made it
into this page:
http://www.lugnet.com/?p=cool-144
The source for that page is here:
http://www.lugnet.com/?p=cool-144.ftx
Then I did a little bit more complicated one:
http://www.lugnet.com/?p=cool-145
http://www.lugnet.com/?p=cool-145.ftx
And then I converted this week's pick, and asked it to embed a couple news
articles:
http://www.lugnet.com/?p=cool-148
http://www.lugnet.com/?p=cool-148.ftx
That worked pretty slick. Then I did the one from the first week of August
(Ben's Millennium Falcon) and put in all sorts of stuff:
http://www.lugnet.com/?p=cool-143
http://www.lugnet.com/?p=cool-143.ftx
Then I made this little foofoo test page which tests embedded images:
http://www.lugnet.com/admin/?p=buttons
http://www.lugnet.com/admin/?p=buttons.ftx
Now here's the really cool part... :) Not only can news articles and
images be embedded in pages, but pages can be embedded within other pages.
So just for fun, I embedded this week's CLSotW pick on the lugnet.loc.jp
newsgroup homepage:
http://www.lugnet.com/loc/jp/
http://www.lugnet.com/loc/jp/?p=.ftx
And here's a page which embeds the 6 most recent CLSotW picks on a single
page:
http://www.lugnet.com/?p=cool
http://www.lugnet.com/?p=cool.ftx
And here's a page which (gawd, does it render slowly; I'll have to see if
the HTML can't be optimized) embeds the /loc/jp/ text, which in turn embeds
this week's CLSotW text. It also includes the page which includes the 6
CLSotW picks, and the root homepage's text, and a couple other pages:
http://www.lugnet.com/?p=mega-slurp
http://www.lugnet.com/?p=mega-slurp.ftx
Pages can be embedded/nested arbitrarily deep (limited only by the editor's
insanity level and the browser's ability to render the page :-).
Anyway, w.r.t. the FAQ, some of this new editing system might apply and some
of it might not. (Not sure how much yet, but your input is greatly
appreciated.) Certainly, the entire FAQ (and zillions of other types of
pages) could be done like this right now at this very moment (given enough
time to type it all :-) but there are loose ends to be tied up in the design
first before diving into creating lots of data in this interlinking format.
(Mainly, it's not very automation-friendly yet because it doesn't yet store
meta-information with the pages.)
Finally, back to what was alluded to on Friday here...
http://www.lugnet.com/admin/general/?n=2793
This is how the SF page looks:
http://www.lugnet.com/loc/us/ca/sf/
and here's the source for that:
http://www.lugnet.com/loc/us/ca/sf/?p=.ftx

p.s. All of the URLs shown above will stick around for at least a few days,
but since this is proof-of-concept testing, they're not guaranteed to stay
around forever at those same URLs.
