MediaWiki is really good at TOCs... MoinMoin isn't so nice.
MoinMoin normally has a macro: [[TableOfContents]] but I didn't manage to make it work on the site. Probably there's some trick one needs to use.
So far, we've had very few contributors to puredata.org, so if you are going to maintain the FAQ, then I'm fine if use reST. We'll see if people contribute...
IOhannes' method looks intriguing, but I would like to see things on puredata.org be very easy to use, rather than more efficient for a manager. If it's setup for a manager, then only the manager is going to ever use it. If it can be made really easy, so that you don't need to read any docs to use it, then it's the best of all worlds.
I think, for a FAQ all that is needed is just a macro which collects headlines, like MoinMoin's [[TableOfContents]] or reST's ".. contents::" The current FAQ doesn't use neither of these, which makes editing harder than necessary and errorprone, as internal references need to be managed manually.
Sounds good. It sounds like you want to revive the FAQ, which is great. So I'll defer to you on how you want to create it. I chose MoinMoin because it's closest to MediaWiki. But it leaves a lot to be desired.
