I can't give out accounts on the systems I'm using at work. I don't
quite understand what you're saying about software test - that's the
content of the document, but that doesn't affect the tools we need.

My current system just grabs what's there when it's time to send out the
FAQ. If I write this email interface, it'll allow others to make
changes and check them into revision control (currently RCS) at any
time.
I hadn't though of a "smart" sync technique, using rdist or somesuch.
