I think a quest would be a good start, probably, to clean up the existing stuff. But I think that, without some changes sort of like chromatic suggested, it'll soon revert to its current state: which is kind of a mess.

The purpose of Categorized Q&A right now is somewhat unclear. I think that you (vroom) are quite clear on what you want it to be--a localized FAQ that monks can add to--but I don't think that's very clear to new posters. To them, it probably seems like there are basically two areas where they can ask questions: SOPW and Q&A. And that's confusing.

So I'd second chromatic's suggestion to make Q&A read-only. If you want it to be an FAQ area, we can't have people dropping non-FAQ's in there. My suggestion is this:

• Make the Q&A area read-only, per chromatic's suggestion.
• Let monks with a certain XP level (> 4 or 5?) maintain/moderate the area.
• Since new posts won't be coming it to the Q&A section, these maintainers will need to actively add the FAQs to the Q&A section. They'll also need to add answers, which can (should, if possible?) be drawn from and crosslinked-to writeups around the site.

What do you think? This seems like it would provide a solid FAQ area with good answers and still make good use of the rest of the writeups around the site.
