This answers the same question as in http://askbot.org/en/question/445/how-to-install-askbot-on-webfaction

Here's what I did on WebFaction:

In webfaction control panel installed app "Python 2.7/Django 1.3" as askbot_webapp
In webfaction control panel created postgres database and remembered password
cd ~/webapps/askbot_webapp
git clone git://github.com/ASKBOT/askbot-devel.git myaskbot 
cd myaskbot/
ls
python-2.7 setup.py develop
askbot-setup 
Where deploy the forum (directory)? askbot2
Edit myproject.wsgi to point to 'myaskbot2.settings'
Create a second webapp for the static files
Attach this to /m within your domain.
Soft link askbot/skins/common and askbot/skins/default into the static files directory
Login: the first user to create and account becomes superuser.

Please edit this answer if you have more to add, or find something I missed.
