It would be super delicious if there was some sort of integration with a remote git repo so we could manage our documents better.

    we have spoken about this. we actually keep your FAQs in git already, as part of an as-yet unannounced versioning feature! (unannounced == doesn't work). But unfortunately there's no authentication going on. There I go again, promising things that might never happen. But git is a large part of our workflow, too. I'm blabbering here, but how about YOU store them and then have a post-receve hook that uses our as-yet-unannounced API to update your FAQS? :) we'd have to figure out a way of keeping IDs and so on..

    Since I'm new to git I don't have a lot of advice to offer. I couldn't begin to speculate on how you might manage this. But if you at least had some versioning built-in that would be 80% of what I'd like (the other 20% is probably more like offline editing). I'm sure I'm not the first person to mention that. Thanks, and keep up the good work.

    Yep, we're actively keeping versions of FAQs right now. The part that's not done is seeing into that versioning -- we just store the data, no interface to see previous versions / changes.

    I've attached a sort of generic FAQ improvement's wish list ticket we have so we can keep you updated as we implement versioning (probably a ways down the road).

    Markus Roberts and I developed a utility to scrape documents from Tender and manage them locally with git, and push them back to the server. We're using this for now. It's general enough for anybody to use:
