This is a fork of the read-only SVN clone of OSQA for improvements and bug fixes. For details of the improvements, see the following posts on OSQA meta:

This fork also significantly improves performance by addressing a template parsing overhead problem. I also strongly recommend using pgpool2 for production environments:
I'm happy to accept pull requests and if there's demand, I'd consider making this a maintained, legitimate fork of OSQA. Development/maintenance appears to have slowed significantly.
Quick Start
Assuming an existing Python and PostgreSQL installation (Mac OS/brew in my case).
You'll need to install the following:
pip install Django==1.3.7
pip install Markdown==2.4.1
pip install html5lib
pip install django-endless-pagination
pip install psycopg2
And create the database for OSQA:
createuser -P osqa
psql template1
CREATE DATABASE osqa OWNER osqa;
Copy settings_local.py.dist to settings_local.py. Update the database settings:
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'postgresql_psycopg2',
'NAME': 'osqa',
'USER': 'osqa',
'PASSWORD': 'osqa',
'HOST': 'localhost',
'PORT': '5432',
}
}
And the application URL:
APP_URL = 'http://localhost'
Create the schema and start a development server:
python manage.py syncdb
python manage.py runserver
Finally, access OSQA for the first time and register an account. That account will be granted administrator privileges.
