Comment(by mo):

 I don't think a hosted Q&A forum is acceptable due to lack of control (IP
 logs etc). I would be willing to maintain the platform and maybe hack on
 the code a bit.

 Both projects don't see much dev activity. My vote goes for Askbot.

 == Shapado ==
  * language selection works for me. it is very slow on the demo site,
 which might be the reason why you thought it was broken.
  * you can answer tickets via mail, but only if you know the specific
 address that is at the bottom of each thread. i don't see how this is a
 very useful feature?
  * rails
  * irc: 3 users, no activity (freenode #shapado)
  * "some bugs weren't fixed in two years from the original setup"
 http://meta.osqa.net/questions/11809/how-to-migrate-content-from-shapado-
 to-osqa

 == Askbot ==
  * users can ask questions via mail. i find that more useful than being
 able to answer via email.
  * in my opinion the user interface looks way better than shapado
  * python (django)
  * has unit tests
  * higher number of commits in the last months
  * irc: 2 users, no activity (freenode #askbot)

 == General ==

  * it would be nice if one could post both question and answer at the same
 time. that way, one could post sanitized versions of support tickets
 quickly. i even see the possible scenario of a closed "forum" that only
 lives from sanitized ticket answers (as a public searchable database of
 tickets, which is lacking at the moment).
  * i am contacting the askbot dev to discuss this a bit with him; let's
 see what he says.
