Askbot is open source software used to create question and answer oriented Internet forums. The site started in 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] Websites use Askbot to run their Q&A sites. Askbot can be easily installed by using the documentation[6] on Ubuntu and CentOS. The Document Foundation put some funds in AskBot development.[7] and LibreOffice used Askbot for Q&A but they decided to migrate to Discourse,[8] as Fedora had done before with its Q&A.
