	Faq-O-Matic Faq-O-Matic

	This site documents the Faq-O-Matic. The Faq-O-Matic is a CGI-based system that automates the process of maintaining a FAQ (or Frequently Asked Questions list). It allows visitors to your FAQ to take part in keeping it up-to-date. A permission system also makes it useful as a help-desk application, bug-tracking database, or documentation system. Jon wrote an article about the FAQ-O-Matic that appeared in the USENIX ;login: newsletter: http://www.usenix.org/publications/login/1998-6/faq.html. This documentation itself is, naturally, maintained with Faq-O-Matic. Hence the weird title. If you see anything that can use updating, please do fix it! If you just want to play around, check out the Playground.
	The Users' Guide tells new users what a FAQ-O-Matic is, how to read it, and how to contribute to it. The Administrators' Guide tells FAQ administrators how to download, install and maintain a FAQ-O-Matic. If you want to start your own FAQ-O-Matic, look here. The Playground is a place where anyone can experiment with the FAQ-O-Matic by creating their own answers. The List Of Faq-O-Matics is a list of websites that use FAQ-O-Matic. Here are Postcards I have received from people who use FAQ-O-Matic. This is the Faq-O-Matic Sourceforge page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/faqomatic lost+found
	The Faq-O-Matic was principally authored by Jon Howell. I have received suggestions and patch contributions from many others; grep the code for 'THANKS' and check out the Version History to find the attributions. jonhATjonhDOTnet/ http://www.jonh.net/
