I am looking for a faq software package that would allow me to create a Q&A site. I looked at some of the similar questions but I didn't find anything suitable. Does anyone have any suggestions?

My wishlist:

  • Prefer a non-wiki solution
  • Windows/.NET solution would be ideal but not required
  • Doesn't matter if solution is commercial/open source
  • Ability to sort questions by category/topic/tags
  • Support for embedding images within text
  • Option to rate answers
  • RSS Feed, if possible
  • Ability to assign related questions

Something like this http://kb.mediatemple.net/ would be perfect.

You say commercial/open source doesn't matter. Does it matter if it's a hosted service? If hosted is OK, you could try StackExchange, which runs the same software that Stack Overflow runs on. It's more of a Q&A site than a FAQ site, but you could probably add links to the most common questions in the sidebar, and use search for finding anything else.

I've looked into StackExchange and it would be a good solution but the price tag is bit of an issue. But it has a lot of the functionality that I am looking for though.

I had this exact same problem and my google-fu lead me to phpMyFAQ. But in the end I ended up writing my own FAQ system because I wasn't satisfied with the features.

@ slebetman - Would you be willing to share you came up with for your FAQ system?
