[xwiki-dev] FAQ Application - Problem with RC2

[shivshan]

Hi
That worked. The FAQ tutorial is mostly accurate, except for the following:

1) The screenshot show the FAQs in a table by default with no mention of the
change to be made in the FAQClassSheet page
2) The screenshots for the properties modification are from an older
version. The newer properties page looks different
I am now finally getting the hang of this :) 
Thanks
Shiva
