It would require a few key elements, but the goodnews is that all of key elements a wiki-faq would require are alreadyrequired by a regular faq. You or whoever is in control of the current faq can give the documentwhatever structure you like, and write down as manyQ & A as you want, then open it up to the public, other userscan then contribute by asking or answering further questionsfollowing the general structure you've provided. Questions that you dont think are very FAQ'ish can be movedto ruby garden wiki, or just removed altogether. Then you can export a snapshot every couple monthsafter a bit of clean up and post it up at ruby-lang in aprettier format. Why not at least consider it? It could be sort of like beta-faq. --Alex Combashttp://noodlejunkie.blogspot.com/
