[wp-hackers] WP as FAQ/ Knowledge Base System

[Roy Schestowitz]

Quoting Frank Naude:

> Posts and categories should be listed in logical order -

You can manipulate WordPress to do anything you like, though the amount of
coding and tailoring involved will vary.

PHP-Nuke has a FAQ module and it its recent versions also contain the
encyclopaedia module which you can use as a knowledgebase.

Hope it helps,

Roy

PS - apologies for an answer that is not entirely WordPress-friendly, but I am
trying to be helpful based on /personal/ experience. I am sure somebody else
knows the plug-ins you can use to make WordPress suitable for the task 
as well.
Alex King has used WordPress as a CMS several times in the past and 
wrote about
it. It's worth pursuing his notes on the topic.
