Hello,
After using stackoverflow for weeks i am just addicted by its system and the "badges" system. Is it possible to create a simple Q&A board with this concept or is there any tutorials ?
check the site - they currently arent offering due to a 2.0 version (which will also be free!) =)

On the post from Joel, dated April 13th, it states that people should be able to apply for new sites within the next 4 weeks. It is also worth stating that StackExchange can no longer be used for Internal websites.

http://code.google.com/p/stacked/ is an option, but I would probably go for StackExchange :)

I've recently been asked to integrate a Stack-overflow type Q&A platform into our website.
After a bit of research, there are a few free sites that offer a Q&A Platform (e.g QHub).
I wanted to use StackExchange, but they arent offering it anymore as they are building a 2.0 version.
Hence i will be creating it from scratch.
I advise you to download a copy of the StackOverflow Common Data Dumps.

Well for starters, you could find about what stackoverflow "is made of". I mean like the facts that its built on asp.net MVC and uses Linq2Sql. It also uses DotNetAuth for openid itegeration etc

I took the tags he added as the technologies he wanted to use. There is no fundamental requirement to use the technologies that stackoverflow uses to create a system with the same features.

The best clone I've seen thus far is this one used by some Chinese Q&A sites:
Not sure what features it doesn't have yet, but it does cover badges. It is open source and based on Django/Python:

...which I prefer to any .NET hoopla, myself.
