Sounds great! Evgeny (the primary dev) is very responsive and has been
quite helpful with the q's I've asked. The latest version of askbot
includes a lot of neat features, including a couple of fixes that
Evgeny put-in within about an hour of me asking about them.

Nifty. There are some key pieces that would be really helpful (e.g.
some kind of status like 'NEEDINFO') that we could definitely discuss
with them. The Fedora folks also use Askbot, IIRC, so perhaps we could
pool some funds if there's a big feature we both want.

Super. It would be great to have more than just EN and PT-BR in the
localization list :-)

I've got a bit on my plate, but if there's a proposal document or time
to discuss fixes/features, I'd more than happy to help.
