We can at least have the mailinglist server know how to automatically cc: OpenWetWare for all items associated with a list. <br><br>Simple and searchable. Then we can use a DPL call to organize them.<br><br>That might work.<br>
<br>I am reticent to just dump Help pages in an unco nstrained manner given where we are right now. <br><br>Uinsing the "SiteSearch" tag, we can do something clever maybe. What if the title of the doc was the question? <br>
<br>Help:FAQ/How do I keep OWW from logging me off automatically?<br><br>If we were smarter we could even set it up so that there were different types of questions like this:<br><br>Help:FAQ/Access/How do I keep OWW from logging me off automatically?<br>
<br>This would allow each level to have its own "search from here" page that would give a god answer or maybe give the user the chance to create a new page and a request to answer it.<br><br>We could then turn the pages into a mailing list. You can sign up at any level to answer questions by subscribing to the page.<br>
<br>All the answers are then collected.<br><br>We can also generate an RSS feed of all the new FAQ questions and FAQ answers.<br><br>Hmm.... not much code to write. and it may generate good info.<br><br>Mailing list... meet wiki!<br>

But I'm not sure email is an answer in itself.<br>
