Add a FAQ type feature

Problem/Motivation

Frequently asked questions can fulfil several functions:

They can provide inexperienced users with answers to questions that may be asked again and again in connection with Drupal, but they can also be used excellently to prepare answers to questions in such a way that search engines can already display the answer to certain questions in the search results and link to the corresponding FAQ page. From there, there is usually a link to an in-depth article that deals with the topic to which the frequently asked question relates in greater depth.

Frequently asked questions are formulated by editors. They formulate both the question and the answer to the respective question and prepare the content.

For the Drupal Centre, a content type that contains a field for the question and a text field for the answer would therefore be a good idea, as well as a link to a more detailed article for the reasons mentioned above. Ideally, this should not simply be a link to an external website, but a reference to content that is generated from a specially created content type.

An example

Question: What is Composer?
Answer: Composer is a tool for managing dependencies in PHP. It allows you to declare the libraries that your project depends on and it will manage (install/update) them for you.
