Moved my FAQ

[DiscoTiki]

The guys over at PocketMatrix wanted to know if they could have my FAQ. I agreed, and it is there now. Saves me some bandwidth on my cable modem, and lets me help out PocketMatrix by administering the FAQ from their site.

Took me a couple weeks to set it up, as my old version was developed in Active Server Pages, and was linked to an Access database. Had to teach myself PHP, and MySQL to port it over to PocketMatrix's *nix servers (Not a huge deal. ASP is a VB based script language, and PHP is more like javascript. MySQL is just another SQl databse, and a good SSH client makes it pretty easy to learn the ins and outs.).

I also added the ability for it to run multiple FAQs, right now, it is only running the iPAQ FAQ, but we are adding a PocketQuake FAQ, and will add other PPC FAQs as we need them...

I hope you all continue to contribute, I would have offered the FAQ to BrightHand out of loyalty, but early on, Steve made me aware that he was already working on a FAQ for Brighthand.

Thanks to everyone that has contributed so far! Lets keep it up, and build an UberFAQ! The Monolithic FAQ. The FAQolith!
