What is Apache Answer?
Apache Answer is an open-source Q&A platform designed for teams of all sizes. It allows you to quickly set up a forum, a help center, or a community knowledge base where everyone can ask questions, answer them, comment, and vote to surface the best responses.
Its tags system facilitates categorization and content discovery, while reputation and badges reward participation and expertise. The platform is extensible via plugins to integrate with your tools and automate your workflows.
A project of the Apache Software Foundation distributed under the Apache 2.0 license, Apache Answer is suitable for both public communities and internal help centers or enterprise knowledge bases.
