I think most people learning of Askbot - at least at the moment - are familiar with the StackOverflow trilogy of sites and its features. And - at least at the moment - many people's question will be "which part of the SO Trilogy's functionality does Askbot cover"?
It would be great to have a detailed comparison chart of what features are available in Askbot and which are not.
Does anybody know whether such a thing exists already outside Askbot? I could imagine somebody has done something like this already but I haven't seen one on neither meta.stackoverflow.com nor meta.stackexchange.com. Otherwise, I'll start a list covering what I can see.

This post is a wiki. Anyone with karma >100 is welcome to improve it.
So I see this stands updated at Nov'10. It would be nice to see another update now with the current list of great features. Thank you.
Here is our changelog in the repo https://github.com/ASKBOT/askbot-devel/blob/master/askbot/doc/source/changelog.rst take a look. Most recent additions are on top. This is the best information we can offer right now.
Evgeny ( 2012-01-09 12:49:14 -0500 )editThank you. Today I stumbled on Askbot searching for open source Q&A platforms that I could host. The home page did not make it convincing enough as I would have liked a comprehensive feature list and a prominent link to http://askbot.org/en/questions/ But once I came here I instantly fell in love with Askbot just for its awesome design. And have been hanging around here trying to figure out all the features myself. So I still believe an features page like OSQA will be helpful.
