[Open-access] Q2A

Tue Feb 28 11:22:18 UTC 2012

Hi,
I can't seem to be able to create an account for trac without invitation.
The Q2A open source plugin will have to be configured with individual WP
site directories as I see it. I will check on that.
The Q&A lite is a pre-configured plugin which should work :
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/qa/
I will try to find out more about the other, in the meantime I think the
Q&A is safe to install. I have no personal experiences with it though.
