Hi Mike,

revsys/django-fack is a reasonably recent fork of howiworkdaily/django-faq, 
with some subsequent divergence between the two code bases on both sides. Both 
projects' primary developers are well-respected members of the Django 
community. In fact, the primary developer of revsys/django-fack is Jacob 
Kaplan-Moss, co-BDFL of Django itself. At the same time, he respected Kevin 
Fricovsky's work enough to both submit fixes *and* then fork it, rather than 
write from scratch.

I have used Kevin's app in a site, and it does what it says on the tin. I'm 
guessing about this, but since Jacob released django-fack under his company's 
github account (RevSys), chances are the cleanup work was done for a client, 
which means that django-fack is very likely in production somewhere.  Either 
fork will serve well enough, though you don't mention any specific requirements 
that could be addressed. Were I to need an app for FAQs in a new project, I'd 
probably use django-fack at this point, as the code base is a little cleaner.

Hope that helps,
