Hi Josh, Thanks for your reply and interest.
Unfortunately I haven't been able to figure out what the heck I'm doing wrong in this relatively simple case. Beginning to look at alternative wikis. Definitely xwiki can be used to build 2.0 level of functionality, but it seems to me there's a little too much black box. I've tried other applications as well .. such as the task manager app .. and found problems others have found as well right out of the box. My point is it's all a little too vague for my comfort. I haven't given up, just beginning to look elsewhere as well.

Hi Mark, Sorry for the delayed response. I went through the steps of creating the FAQ application per the tutorial, but I can't reproduce your issue. Questions are created in the FAQ space for me, not Main. Your code looks fine as well. Were you able to figure it out?
