Hi Tim,

> anybody know what happened to it?

Well nothing, except my slackness! With the lack of submissions I haven't
spent much time on the exchange however I've been sitting on bosFAQ for a
bit too long.

The good news is bosFAQ is alive now at:
http://farcry.daemon.com.au/go/downloads/exchange/general/bosfaq

Cheers

David

Likewise I have an FAQ module that has custom types, publishing rules,
permissions, a config and a custom tab... deploying all of that is quite
tricky.

Many moons ago there were discussions of a package format, and I think an
xml format for the package descriptor was suggested also. It might be worth
consulting the archives and pulling these suggestions from the grave. If
anybody is looking at developing something I'd be interested in lending a
hand.

As a side note, the FAQ module was never added to the exchange, though it
was emailed to the relevant persons... anybody know what happened to it?
