That's in the plans. In fact there's been an FAQ-O-Matic installed on dbi.perl.org for a while but it never quite got off the ground.
The dbi.perl.org content is in the process of moving to a new host and a new maintainer. I hope FAQ-O-Matic will be part of that setup and then multiple maintainers can work on subsections of it (e.g., driver authors can maintain subsections about their drivers). But meanwhile, having someone kick some life into the traditional FAQ would be a very good thing. Currently it looks like Ilya's got the job :) Tim.
