Good FAQ software?

DarioXDarioX Member
in General

Hey you guys!

I'm searching for a good FAQ software for one of my LEBs.
Any suggestions?

I've found phpMyFAQ, but I'm not convinced it is the right choice.
Also new or not-so-common software welcome! :)

Thank you.

    Docuwiki with FAQ plugin.

    If you're going for that retro 1998 feeling...

    http://faqomatic.sourceforge.net/

    I was forced to use, and then administer, this hideousness for several years.

    Wow...just checked...last release 2004.

    I'm wondering why you need special "FAQ software". Make the section a header (maybe h2), the question a header (maybe h3), and the answer a paragraph, and voila, your FAQ.

    Or bold the questions and don't bold the answers.

    Or...really, it's all just text isn't it? Or are you looking for more of a searchable knowledgebase?

    You are probably right. What I'm searching for is more a "searchable knowledgebase" than a FAQ system. :)

    I'd like to have basic functions like user groups, permissions, maybe ratings. Anyway I'm primarily searching for new software.

    @DarioX that basically sounds like a wordpress install with one or two plugins.

    Yeah, in the end I will probably just go with WP + plugins. Was hoping to find a more lightweight solution. Thanks for the suggestions.

    Code one in Django (if you know Python) as its kind of made for exactly your requirements, but if you don't know Python then don't bother. Is more lightweight than a WP install+plugins, and could be done in a few hours if you have a good ability with Python as its that straightforward to do.

    edit: Just remembered think Django's tutorial is creating exactly this, or it was years ago.

    Anyone remember the first version of LET? It was on OSQA which I thought was pretty good.

    Atlassian have a FAQ/QA module for Confluence
