What is the difference between this and Launchpad's Answers ?

Asked by [ Admin ] , Edited by Fabián Rodríguez [ Admin ]

I often use Launchpad’s Answers system to help other people with Ubuntu. I know Shapado’s big appeal to me is its multilingual interface and language support. What other advantages are there to use Shapado instead of or additionally to Launchpad’s Answers [1] ?

Hey magicfab, I don’t know Launchpad’s answer much but I think what shapado offers is the reputation/karma system, the availability to vote on best answers/comments, tagging system. We’re also looking into making shapado distributed in the future to create federations of shapado (so that you can subscribe to remote shapado installs and follow them from the same place like status.net http://gitorious.org/shapado/shapado/commits/distributed).

It would be great, awesome and mind-blowing if the reputation/karma system from launchpad and shapado could be integrated… for example if i login into shapado using my OpenID from Launchpad, it would be feasible to import my existing Answers karma into the Shapado system.

And with the help of some LP guru maybe something on the other way around would be possible too..

Just displaying a few things from your LP profile should already be magnitudes better than nothing :)

Perhaps as a widget/plugin of some sort ?
