Yes, the category field is a multivalued field.

Alternativley, we could just use a "tags" field allowing freeform tagging of the FAQ entries. However, I'm not a big fan of this approach in documentation, it tends to end up a little too unstrucutred.

It would be great if we could start with the list that is
already in the Wiki... if you need help creating the info
for the FAQ, once the code has been setup, please post
a request here.

Will do - thnks, I'll wait another couple of days to see if anyone has any objections.

This is really a three pronged question:

1. Do we have a project FAQ?
2. Where is it? on daisy?


(assumption - there isn't a FAQ already)

I use Daisy on an in-house project for documentation. One of the things we have done is create a FAQ document type which has a "question" and an "answer" part and a category field (user, developer, installation etc.)

We then use the query facilities on daisy to automatically create a variety of FAQ documents.

One advantage of this over having a normal document listing the faqs is that you can include each FAQ in other documents. For example, by having a field "commonality" wich is set to "uncommon" or "common", we can use another query to include the common FAQs on relevant pages, e.g. the install documentation can includes the common install FAQs at the end, whilst the "uncommon" ones appear in only in the list of FAQs.

I could set this up on the Daisy instance if you like. Perhaps just starting with the basic FAQ doc type for now.
