What software do you use for the Answers service?

[Ian Clayton]

What software do you use for this service and is there anything similar we could incorporate into Confluence/JIRA? I think it would be a huge asset gioven we have blogs, and agile activities that could all spawn a question, provide feedback that could result in a story, and so on...

Atlassian Answers is built on OSQA, an open-source Q&A platform built with Python and Django. The integration between Atlassian Answers and other Atlassian websites (such as support.atlassian.com and confluence.atlassian.com) is done by our custom-built REST APIs.

Currently Atlassian does not offer any out-of-the-box integration with Answers (or an Answers-like OSQA-based service).
