2024 has been treated us well — we have more stars and contributors illuminating the path ahead of us.

Why Apache Answer

We are a group of Q&A enthusiasts, and it’s lovely to deliver a product that we truly love. Answer is an open-source Q&A software aiming to help people find the right answers, while unleashing collective wisdom for every team. We’ve tagged different issues for novices and veterans to get hands on in the repository.

We know how important it is to have well-written and complete documentation to guide you. The Contributing doc covers everything you need, from how to submit an issue, to develop a plugin, and how to write a blog.
