Yes, we've decided to go with a Q&A/wiki type system (OSQA in fact,
not solace -- after experimenting with solace we've decided OSQA
looked better).

Ticket was here: <http://knowledgeforge.net/okfn/tasks/ticket/141>

ask.okfn.org has been turned off for the time being because:

a) ideas part has migrated to ideas.okfn.org
b) for the parts not covered by ideas.okfn.org (and we could always
partly abuse ideas.okfn.org) we didn't yet have much use

I note also there was almost no data in in it. If people would really
like ask to be put back up, please say.
