Open Stack

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.

Everett
