I created a new FAQ module for dotProject (works with
current version 2.0.4). It is a bit of a quick hack,
but at least it satisfies my needs. Each FAQ entry
consists of a question, an answer and a category (added
a new select list to the System Lookup Values). Each
FAQ can be connected to one or more projects, but does
not need to be connected to any project at all. I also
created the English and German language files for the
FAQ module. The FAQs for each project are also shown in
a tab when viewing a project.
To get a bit of layout into the FAQ entries I am using
PEAR::Text_Wiki with the Mediawiki renderer. To get
this working, I added the PEAR packages to the
/lib/PEAR/ directory and also had to add the basic
PEAR.php file, because PEAR::Text_Wiki depends on it. I
even added a quick markup help for the wiki markup.
Just download the attached zip file and unpack it in
your dotProject directory. Then open "System Admin >
View modules" and activate it. That should be basically it.

It is also possible to change categories.
Go to "System Admin > System Lookup Values", then edit
"FaqType".
