What's the difference to other systems like this?
For example OS QA [1] seems to be quite popular/established?<p>Experiences, anyone?<p>1: <a href="http://www.osqa.net/" rel="nofollow">http://www.osqa.net/</a>
I remember hearing in one of the first StackOverflow podcast that Jeff wanted to release the software as OS in and indefinite future, guess that Joel did not support that and now they are too successful to consider it again, in any case I can see why it would be disadvantageous after they changed their business model from third party hosted Q&A sites to the Area51 process.
Hi Folks,<p>I maintain the Coordino project on GitHub located here: <a href="https://github.com/Datawalke/Coordino" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/Datawalke/Coordino</a> At the moment the project is somewhat stagnent as I work on some major improvements.<p>If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Thank you.
I think a StackOverflow style app would be powerful, and yet I don't want to add yet another "knowledge base" style application on top of, say, an internal wiki, ticket tracking systems, git commit messages, et cetera.<p>What do you use to tie these things together, and how do you decide what goes where? The line seems to blur between Q/A-style like Coordino and a wiki, in particular. Does anybody integrate these different knowledge systems well?
I'm a tremendous fan and frequent user of various StackExchange sites, and I've been looking for places to use a tool like OSQA or Coordino.<p>I wonder, though, about the scale required. My sense is that for sites like StackOverflow and Hacker News:<p><i>Quality = Quantity + (Filtering, Sorting, Ranking) </i><p>The software provides the second term, but I wonder how many responses or frequent posters/commenters one needs to have sufficient quantity. Any data on this?
You should checkout Askbot, it's used in many places, easy to install, test cases and documentation.<p>[1]<a href="http://askbot.org/" rel="nofollow">http://askbot.org/</a>
Interesting. This reminds me of the stackoverflow podcast where Joel and Jeff argued about open sourcing the stackoverflow engine.<p>Joel was against it because they were building stackexchagne at the time and he didn't want to compete against competitors like this using their own engine.
I stood up a few OSqa sites recently:<p><a href="http://lostquery.com" rel="nofollow">http://lostquery.com</a> - Database FAQ<p><a href="http://zealotrush.com" rel="nofollow">http://zealotrush.com</a> - Starcraft FAQ (other games too)
