Atlassian Answers Functionality

[Kyle Schuetz]

I am currently setting up a developer collaboration site using Confluence. I am trying to build a message board like functionality that is very similar to the way the Answers section is built. I would like to speak with a developer of that area if at all possible to discuss how to set up a similar area for my team.

Hmm - interesting idea.

Atlassian Answers is not Confluence though -

It is running this: http://www.osqa.net/

Look familiar?

You could do some-answers-like things with Confluence too though.

If you want Confluence as the base, I think it would be good to start with a theme, like Zen Foundation - and then with mixes of custom user macros or plugins, could build out additional functionality.

Not a bad idea either - so don't throw that idea away.

Happy to discuss more wiith you.
