Need suggestions for a "script" I'm working on (name & features)

Hi all,

I'm working on a Knowledge Base system, and I need some suggestions..

This is a list of the key-features (all of them aren't done yet):

- File Attachments
- Keyword Searching
- User Notes/Comments
- Templates
- Caching

You can take a look at the current dev version at: http://faq.webpixels.net/

btw, it's performing slower than it normally will because I have enabled that it checks for changes in the templates every time it executes.. it's possible to turn this off, but because I'm working on templates too, I need to have the feature enabled

1. I need name suggestions.. just bring 'em on.. My mind is blank
2. I could also need some suggestions for more features

(btw, I will probably change design when the first version is finished because the current design has some incompatibilities with various browsers)

edit: oh, and in case you're wondering, the current questions and answers were blatantly ripped from another site (hey, it's for development only, alright?)

Thanks!

Hey Havard,
Looks good. A name like ezFAQ or faqLite or something like that might be a good start. How are you doing the search in MySQL? Using keyword comparisons or something like the LIKE keyword?

I haven't started working on the search yet.. haven't decided which method I'll be using either.. what method would you suggest?

yeah, maybe I'll make a ticketing system.. anyway.. the search is finished. I ended up using MySQL's fulltext search.. although it is a little slower than LIKE, it gives results with higher relevancy

My internet connection has been down for 2-3 days, so I haven't had a chance to work on it.. I will work on it now that it's back, though.

Thanks

Right now, I'm not sure when it's going to be finished.. I've had a little break from the project now.. But I'll resume to work soon (probably within a few days)

I haven't decided how I'm going to implement the admin area yet, and I'll have to work on my authentication class too.. After the basic system is done I'll start all the tweaking and optimization.. I should probably finish as much as possible before school begins

If you want to see what features that are currently planned for the first release, you can check out the kBase forums.. So far, I've been rambling in there for myself.. (people must think I am crazy.. wait.. am I?)
