# Apache Answer (https://devrel.directory/directory/apache-answer)

Open-source Q&A platform for running a self-hosted developer support forum with reputation and moderation.

Ships voting, accepted answers, reputation, badges, and moderation tools out of the box, with themes and plugins for customization. As an Apache top-level project its license and governance suit companies that cannot put support content on third-party SaaS. Fits teams that want an owned, searchable developer knowledge base instead of chat history.
