I have a decent amount of experience setting up Faq-O-Matic:
http://faqomatic.sourceforge.net/
But I'm really not interested in setting it up on a site I don't have root
access to. I tried that once already for someone and it was the biggest
pain. I run a server that has the domain names "robust.colorado.edu"
(which I may lose in three years), and
"danielwebb.us", which I will keep indefinetely. Since Faq-O-Matic
allows user contribution, multiple people can add to or edit it. I will
set this up on the condition that a link to it is placed in the
"Documentation" section of the wget main page, and not the "Add-ons"
section.
Also, concerning the mailing list, I am not interested in using a kludgy
web-based interface to an email archive. Where are the mbox download
links? If there is not one, I am willing to set it up on my server, on
the condition that the link will be in the wget main page "Mailing list"
section, and not the "Add-ons" section.
