If we're trying out different software and potentially putting it to a vote, the StackExchange style should not be disregarded.
Below is a list of people from this thread who are in favor (or at least interested in trying) the StackExchange style. Thierry Carrez Lorin Hochstein Todd Morey Richard Hartman Michael Shuler Rick Clark Although Anne Gentle said she likes the style I've purposefully left her off the list because she said she doesn't want to weigh in on the tools debate. If I've misrepresented anyone, please let me know. Any experimentation or vote should include the StackExchange style. For Open Source there is Shapado (https://github.com/ricodigo/shapado) and OSQA (http://www.osqa.net/). To experiment with these you can go to http://meta.osqa.net/ or http://shapado.com/ For free there is StackExchange.com. To experiment with this you can go to http://stackoverflow.com/ or http://serverfault.com/ IMO the StackExchange style of site is not too technical for any kind of user and should be considered along with the other forum style software.
