| * [[User:Sundaram | Rahul Sundaram]] is leading an effort to package askbot and all its build time and runtime dependencies for Fedora. The goal is to get an instance of it running in say http://ask.fedoraproject.org and serve as a forum for questions and answers. The dependencies are useful for various other projects as well.
| | Ask Fedora is not managed by the Fedora [[Infrastructure]] team. |
| | |
| * Toshio from Fedora Infrastructure team raised the question of liability and Red Hat Legal has clarified that there isn't any. It is like the users list where end users answer other user's questions and we don't have to moderate the answers. Thanks to Spot for helping with a quick response.

| | |
| * Rahul Sundaram is in touch with the upstream developer, Evgeny Fadeev (evgeny.fadeev gmail) who is willing to help out with the integration with Fedora Account System. He has made some changes upstream to make it easier to integration with a external authentication system. Refer to http://askbot.org/doc/askbot-as-reusable-django-application.html for more details.
| |
| | |
| * Prasad.J.Pandit has added support for Fedora Authentication System (FAS) in Askbot. These patches have been sent upstream. Upstream has agreed to make auth support extensible so that we can plugin FAS auth support without having to patch Askbot. Waiting to hear back from upstream on progress. Rahul Sundaram will followup as needed.
| |
| | |
| * Theming needed. Will request the Fedora design team for help when Askbot and dependencies are in the Fedora repo.
