That was my original intention when I was going to put it into
SourceForge.  It's easy to split up.  We'd just need a program to
reform the FAQ.

I had a directory for each section, and then a separate file per
head2.  Each filename was a number, which made assembly easy.

As you've seen, nothing's fixed yet.  I'd love to see a build testing
tinderbox.  Want to set it up? :-)

For ToDo manager, we could set up another queue in the RT being used
by Perl 6.
