Can apache-answer be considered a forum software?
What is difference between Forums like FlaskBB and Apache Answers.
2 Answers
The main difference is that a forum is designed to facilitate a back and forth discussion. Apache Answers is a Q/A style forum with the express goal of soliciting answers to a question. In addition to the type of discussion they're designed for, FlaskBB appears to be a port of PHPBB which is already free but written in another programming language. Apache Answer is a recreation of sites like Stack Exchange which does not have the source code freely available.
