computer programmer?

Usually FAQ are a resource that provides answers to frequently asked 
questions. The person collecting questions and respective answers does so 
in collaboration with the community. The FAQ maintainer may or may not 
answer questions himself/herself (fake FAQ answering questions people 
might have or should have is a different beast)
