Is there a questions-and-answers rails plugin?

Question

I am working on a project that has a questions-and-answers section. My client - and me of course - looks highly at stackoverflow and how it made questions-and-answers so great.

My question is, Are there any plugins/apis that I can use in my Rails application to provide a questions-and-answers section without having to build it from scratch?

Answer 1

This can not take you more than an hour to implement in rails.

First make a question model, then an answer model, then just join them, assign some permission magic, maybe throw in acts_as_revisable to have versions of the questions.

Seriously that's very easy, if you are into getting things done already with no effort, you should google for hobo.
