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.

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.  :)

I'm pushing Todd's hot button on purpose here a bit, but I suspect that
even though it's GPL he might not host it because Todd has a bit of NIH,
which is what I was referring to vis-a-vis cathedral vs. bazaar.

I bet he'd link to it if you hosted it though. Which is essentially the
same thing after you factor out relative stability/longevity of the site
considerations.

I read the install/admin part of the FAQoMatic and it sure seemed to me
that it would be dead easy to get running if you have root on the box.
But that could just be my ignorance talking.

(...) Yup, and like I said - my domain will have a hosting home for a long time. And unless I suddenly go bankrupt, it'll have a good home like it has now with full Perl usage, etc. Heck, even if I did go broke I could move it to a free place that (...)
