FAQ Plug-in or Gem for Rails 3?

Question

Frequently asked questions seem to be used quite often in a web application. but it seems that there are no gems or plugins available for Rails.

Can you recommend a gem or a plugin that provides frequently asked questions for a Rails application?

Obviously, you could do a simple FAQ very quickly with Rails, but there is a lot more functionality that you can add: voices, search, categories, roles, comments, markup, inline links, tags, ... just to name a few.

It seems like people often reinvent the wheel for frequently asked questions.

I just posted a stone for this.

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

Answer 2

I think that either using BrowserCMS ( http://browsercms.org ) or RefineryCMS ( http://refinerycms.com/ ) is suitable for counting if you need more general content pages. I prefer to use a universal CMS instead of creating a gem / plugin for frequently asked questions, as you will have other pages that can easily be added to the CMS engine. Saves development time by having to update mostly static HTML pages.

Absolutely - Check out https://oraguide.com - Everything is optimized / hosted in the cloud. It works directly on the page as a floating div.
