Askbot

Askbot is open source software used to create question and answer oriented Internet forums. The site started on July 2009,[1] initially similar to Stack Overflow or Yahoo! Answers.[2] Based on CNPROG[3][4] and some code written for OSQA, it is primarily developed and maintained by Evgeny Fadeev.[5]
