Default CMS for publishing FAQ articles

Further to the discussion in the faq thread, I've installed a copy of
WordPress for the group to try out.

You can access it he

There's information on the homepage on how to login. Have a play, post
some stuff, and discuss the suitability of this cms for the purpose we
have in mind. If people don't like this particular app, and would prefer
a more wiki style app, please say so and I'll install a test wiki.


Just had a quick play. I made a comment on there but thought it best to
re-iterate here - presumably we don't want discussion/comment in two
places in parallel??

Anyway... my point was that I’m not sure what the point of the Wordpress
interface is - wouldn’t it just end up being a replacement or
alternative version of uk.d-i-y? As far as the test categories on the
right-hand side of the Wordpress screen go - well, don’t they equate to
“uk.d-i-y.general” “uk.d-i-y.home” and “uk.d-i-y.pushfit”; and the
majority of uk.d-i-y punters regularly reject the concept of subdividing
the ng? I think I feel a Wiki would be better; but I don't know how you
solve the inevitable edit-wars issues.
