FAQ Management Plugin for Trac

Requires the Trac Generic Class plugin, which is part of TestManagerForTracPlugin. Download it here, then [build and] install the TracGenericClass.egg file into Trac before installing the FAQ management plugin.

Description


A Trac plugin to create FAQs and organize them in categories.
FAQs are actually Wiki pages, created automatically and using a naming convention that allows the plugin to display them in a tree view.
Categories and sub-categories allow for organizing the FAQs based on topics.

A new wiki page will be created and opened for editing.

The first line represents the category title. You can freely edit it, but do not remove it.

This is a normal Wiki page, so you can can use WikiFormatting here, as well as attach documents and images.

When you have finished editing the FAQ category description, save the wiki page.
