I wouldn't block too hard on askbot in Fedora. We (me, nirik, and some 
other people I've forgotten) were looking at it recently - in the 
context of unbundling tinymce, or something - and it's basically DOA so 
far as Fedora goes. We strongly suspect the package hasn't worked on 
Fedora for years (or, possibly, ever). The current F20 and Rawhide 
packages at least certainly can't possibly really work (unless someone's 
fixed an awful lot of stuff in the last three weeks or so).

The package exists to back ask.fedoraproject.org , basically (that, of 
course, runs on EL6). I doubt there's any other live askbot deployment 
using the Fedora/EPEL packages.
