Hi Markus,

When we chose to deploy answers.ros.org using Askbot we definitely considered StackExchange, as well as every other Q&A engine we could find. I can't fine the archives of the mailing list where we discussed the deployment.

That discussion is here, I guess:

Maybe we can also put the new answers as answers to the old question Markus linked:
