Frage-Question / Antwort-Answer Script – Übersicht

Script-Clones von Yahoo Answers, Gutefrage.net oder iq.lycos.de

Eigentlich war ich ja auf Suche nach einem Question / Answer Script für diesen WordPress Blog. Jedoch musste ich bald fest stellen, dass die Suche wohl nicht erfolgreich sein wird, da es derzeit keine WordPress PlugIns für diese Art der Erweiterung gibt. Alternativ habe ich mir einige Stand-Alone-Scripte angesehen und mir dabei ein paar Grobnotizen notiert. Diese werden zwar vielen nicht sehr hilfreich sein, jedoch bieten zumindest die Links eine gute Übersicht zu diversen Q&A Script Clones. Von der individual programmierten Lösung bis zur Open Source Variante ist hier alles dabei!

Anova
Das Script schaut zumindest auf der Webseite sehr interessant aus. Das Anova "Question / Answer” Script gibt es in zwei verschiedenen Versionen.
Light Version: 147 $
Diese bietet die Basisfunktionen eines Frage / Antwort Scriptes.
Full Version: 247 $
Hier wurde einige Funktionen zusätzlich hinzu gefügt, welche über die normalen Funktionsumfang hinaus gehen, wie z.B. Forum und Blog Funktionalität und Video / Audio Question / Answer Funktion.

Keine deutsche Sprache – kann aber einfach übersetzt werden

Smarty Templating System

It’s incredibly easy to switch the entire look of the Anova site by uploading a templates file. The main advantage is that webmasters need not know any programming to edit the themes. They can choose a template that they want to use in the backend without messing up everything. Webmasters can get other people who are familiar with the smarty template system to integrate their design for them.
Smarty will give you a great experience in customizing web design.

Video question/answer

Video helps people ask and give answers clearly and quickly. Members can ask questions and answer questions in an interactive way through videos, and get the experience of visual and interactive mixing on the site.
Video enhances the interaction between community members. It comes with a handy flash player that can be embedded on site to allow streaming of video and audio without allowing downloads. Users can preview a video before attaching it with a question/answer, to make sure that it's all fine before sending it live. Best video answers will be shown randomly in the "Best Video Answers" block of the site.

Audio question/answer

It lets users listen to audio clips attached with questions or answers posted on the site. This would be a new experience for users; to be able to listen to content, rather than read it. Audio can be recorded using the voice recorder. Users can preview audio before sending it live.

Rewarding

It rewards points to members when they undertake any action on the site, and user level will be updated according to the points scored. The points system is incorporated to encourage users to answer many questions and to limit spam questions/answers. The number of points rewarded to users depends on their participation level.

Answer Script
Ist etwas einfacher gehalten und auch von der Optik sehr rudimentär aufgebaut. Die wichtigsten Funktionen sind jedoch vorhanden und wer billig einsteigen möchte, evt. eine Alternative zu teuren Scripten! Das Script kostet derzeit 24$.

Keine deutsche Sprache – Sprachänderung über TXT File.

Dieses Script ist noch in der Entwicklung und arbeitet auf Textfile-Basis. Ob man so etwas einsetzen sollte sei mal dahin gestellt.

Wie man sieht, gibt es derzeit viele der Script-Clones für
– gutefrage.net
– Yahoo Answers
– iq.lycos.de

Ich persönlich werde mir aus der Auswahl das Questions2Answers Script näher ansehen, da das Q&A Script eine Userschnittstelle on Board hat und das Projekt gerade aktiv gelebt wird.
