So I take it you want Kallery completely under the umbrella? I note your 
masthead image is not quite consistent and without editing your section I 
can't upload so I put a masthead.png for Kallery in the kallery directory. To 
be consistent it would go in /kallery/public_html/images/page/masthead.png so 
that the location would be the same.

I'm sure you won't get consensus on this so your idea is fine. ;-)

Yes and no. Yes, it should be moved to the include directory. As far as the 
rest goes, I'm okay with it being able to load any file, but if we show a faq 
on the main site and one on quanta, kommander or kallery then we effectively 
create a mess in my opinion. There are common install issues and items that 
we will want on the main faq and the application faq. The only way I see to 
keep from being a mess is to centralize it. I've posted on this several times 
and edited the faq.xml. Have you read any of this? The "any faq" ability is 
great, but the display should sort by 
<application name="quanta" />
I have added "common" so it should be 
if ($application == $_application || $application == "common")
and of course your faq_widget.php will need to assemble arrays instead of 
directly printing element links. It will then be possible to create headers 
for application sections and list them under that.

Cosmo thinks I should be done with my emails. ;-)
