Askbot isopen source software used to createquestion and answer orientedInternet forums. The site started in July 2009,[2] initially similar toStack Overflow orYahoo! Answers.[3] Based onCNPROG[4][5] and some code written for OSQA, it is primarily developed and maintained by Evgeny Fadeev.[6]
Websites use Askbot to run their Q&A sites. Askbot can be easily installed by using thedocumentation[7] onUbuntu andCentOS.
The Document Foundation put some funds in AskBot development.[8] andLibreOffice used Askbot forQ&A but they decided to migrate toDiscourse,[9] asFedora had done before with itsQ&A.
The budget for the AskBot improvements will be topped up by 2.000 €, to foster further improvements.
