+1. The more places/ways that people can find out answers to questions that they have before they overwhelm volunter debian supporters, the better. (And the easier it is for them to use/find, the more likely it is that they'll use it, and find answers to their questions.) > This would be easy to integrate into the new Debian Planet codebase > (Zope + MySQL) for those interested.

I know that I can see people using apt in #debian to find the answers to their questions, amongst other uses. [Form on d.o, for instance...] Ideally, people will be able to ask questions both via a website, and via e-mail (and answer them in the same way.)

I would be glad to assist you in helping to develop/design the debian FAQ system if there are people who are interested in making such a system work.
