Askbot is open source software used to create question and answer oriented Internet forums. The site started in July 2009,^[2] initially similar to Stack Overflow or Yahoo! Answers.^[3] Based on CNPROG^[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 the documentation^[7] on Ubuntu and CentOS.

The Document Foundation put some funds in AskBot development.^[8] and LibreOffice used Askbot for Q&A but they decided to migrate to Discourse,^[9] as Fedora had done before with its Q&A.
