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.
