Step 1: Using the Site to Collect Comments

For the moment, this wiki is only used to collect comments for existing FAQ entries (and suggestions for new entries, and other improvements).

To use this information, we can simply generate a list of comments, and let someone with SVN access to the python.org sources update the official FAQ.

(one could write a script that posts comment summaries to the python.org tracker)

Step 2: Using the Site to Maintain the FAQ

Another option is to generate the python.org FAQ from the material on this site:

(However, the conversion process needs to be somewhat improved before we can start working on this. The main problem right now appears to be that HTML2TEXT doesn't always escape underscore characters. That shouldn't be too hard to fix...)

Step 3: Creating a FAQ Web Application for www.python.org

To be added. (I have some ideas, but if you know what the perfect FAQ application should look like, or have pointers to some nice site to imitate, don't hesitate to add a comment below...)
