[OWW-Discuss] Timeout problem

[Bill F]

We can at least have the mailinglist server know how to automatically cc:
OpenWetWare for all items associated with a list.

Simple and searchable. Then we can use a DPL call to organize them.

That might work.

I am reticent to just dump Help pages in an unco nstrained manner given
where we are right now.

Uinsing the "SiteSearch" tag, we can do something clever maybe. What if the
title of the doc was the question?

Help:FAQ/How do I keep OWW from logging me off automatically?

If we were smarter we could even set it up so that there were different
types of questions like this:

Help:FAQ/Access/How do I keep OWW from logging me off automatically?

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.

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.

All the answers are then collected.

We can also generate an RSS feed of all the new FAQ questions and FAQ
answers.

Hmm.... not much code to write. and it may generate good info.

Mailing list... meet wiki!
