FAQs are a good fit for game manuals, where often layers of rules have strange interactions which make a FAQ to settle a few rule questions or "gotchas" important and interesting.
But FAQs for a web application I think is a bad fit, it is generally more useful to have a forum (so you can get real feedback on what is frequently asked) where common questions will bubble to the top more often.
Or if you're big enough, a stackexchange which handles genuinely frequently asked questions better still.
- jimmaswell 13y agoThe FAQ is supposed to be so people aren't wasting time on the forum asking the same question a million times. The project I'm on has a very useful FAQ with questions that got asked all the time when it wasn't there. It made them asked less, but people still don't read it sometimes.
