Automated FAQs for repos #1192

Open wlandau opened 6 years ago

wlandau commented 6 years ago

To extend the convenience and self-documentation of issue trackers, I am wondering if you would consider automated FAQs.

My current workflow:

  1. Label pedagogically useful issues with a "frequently asked question" label.
  2. Scrape these FAQ issues with the GitHub API.
  3. Compile an index of links to the original issues.

Example: https://wlandau.github.io/2018/02/24/github-faq/

Where would the faq show? A wiki FAQ page with a manual list of links might be good enough.
