Revision history  [back]

Hi Jeremy, thanks for sharing.

I will respond to the "horrible accusations" :).

• ease of installation issue was addressed - the package is available on the official Python Package Index and installable with easy_install askbot command. In some cases some dependency libraries will still need to be installed separately though and this will be improved upon.

• moderation tools - I agree are important, in fact they should have been developed before. important. I will collect the list of requirements for this and will just get it done.

• confusing code - yes it is not simple - but to really compare you need to try reading others code as well ;). Developer documentation is the only real way to fix that. Creating documentation is part of the current focus.

• that few people use askbot for some reason - well I think the main reason is that this project was launched after others had a chance to advertise. So I don't buy this one :) - the software in askbot is no less mature than in other similar projects. In fact I think askbot has a chance to be the most stable and dependable software of them all.

Anyway - I think that evaluating more options is a good thing to do because it helps to make a more informed decision.

Thanks again for your input!

Developer documentation Anyway - within a month there will be ample code documentation on askbot. Documentation is the only real way to fix that. Creating documentation is part of the current focus.
