Did you take a look at http://www.debian.org/cgi-bin/fom or just installed the
faqomatic.deb? I think i've provided enough links to documentation in the
"about the FAQ" section. The documentation is pretty decent, i.e. I had no
problems parsing it, but it seems that some users do. Well, if anyone could
point to a better alternative, I am all for it, although it would probably be
a pain converting everything that's already done.

Yea, I recruited 2 voluteers recently, but not much has been done
unfortunately, and I want to move on to other things. I only wanted to set it
up and populate it enough to encourage others to contribute. I guess the
approach did not quite work.
