This is a simple CGI script for managing a web based FAQ. It
uses mysql to store the questions and answers in the FAQ. It
is pretty staightforward - basically, anyone can submit a
new question through the "Add Question" form. There is also
an admin user, that you should set up using HTTP
authentication.
You login as admin user by clicking on the "Login" button,
and entering the authentication details that you have set
up. The admin interface allows FAQ administrators to add or
delete FAQs, answer questions, edit answers, or delete
questions. If you want to set up different administrators on
a per FAQ basis, you can do this because of the URL
structure of the interface.
Included in the distribution is a utility script, the
unanswered_questions.pl manpage, which you can use - for
example using cron - to alert you of any unanswered
questions in a particular FAQ.
