Yah, this is the part I was never all that thrilled about. It'd be nicer if there were a single fom.cgi and an additional parameter was passed to FOM, like "project=automake". It's not a huge deal, but it means that we'll have n copies of fom.cgi in cgi-bin, which is unattractive. > So I propose making one subdir per project in cgi-bin (eg > /sourceware/www/cgi-bin/automake, /sourceware/www/cgi-bin/java, etc), > and copying fom.cgi there.

My first inclination is to put the databases in a new directory, like /sourceware/faq-o-matic or putting them in the same place where the CVS files for each project are stored (/sourceware/projects).
