FAQ Plug-in or Gem for Rails 3?

Question

FAQs seem to be a pretty commonly needed feature in a web application.. but it seems like there are no gems or plugins available for Rails.

Can you recommend a gem or plugin which provides FAQs to a Rails app?

Obviously you could make a simple FAQ very quickly with Rails, but there is much more functionality that can be added: votes, search, categories, roles, comments, markup, embedded links, tags, ... just to name a few.

Seems like people are re-inventing the wheel a lot for FAQs

Answer 1

I just published a gem for it.

Hope that helps, Its in development phase but we are using it actively. Your comments/feedback will be highly appreciated

Answer 2

I think either using BrowserCMS (http://browsercms.org) or RefineryCMS (http://refinerycms.com/) fits the bill for when you need more generic content pages. I prefer to just use a generic CMS instead of creating a gem/plugin for FAQS as you'll have other pages that could easily be thrown into a CMS engine as well. Saves developer time from having to update mostly static HTML pages.
