My need is to include a FAQ link in a website that refers Askbot. I consider that the most viewed questions correspond to the most frequently asked ones. For a web site that is talking about continous integration, the link could be as follow: http://askbot.org/en/questions/?sort=views-desc&tags=continuous-integration

Unfortunately, the sorting by number of views is not available and the combinaison of several parameters is not managed.

Yes my need is to detect the faq regarding a given subject (could be a tag or query). For example, it could be useful to include in the chapter "Installing" of the askbot documentation the following link : http://askbot.org/en/question/?sort=faq&tags=installation

Probably, number of votes will be a better approximation of FAQ...

not sure. To be able to vote a visitor must be connected and be in a spirit "community". Unfortunately in practise, most of people will only take the answer, that's why I think the faq sorting should also consider the number of views.

I still think that votes are a better predictor of F.A.Q, but the problem may be public reputation system, which motivates people to upvote less often, because of the competition. Maybe we should lower the reputation increase for the questions, or even remove it alltogether. In some other forums I saw a button "I have this question too" - which is kind of the same as a vote, but maybe perceived differently.
