The Question Tool (AKA The Question and Answer Tool) is a Berkman-built, JZittrain-invented, open source resource for letting a backchannel come up with, discuss, and rank questions which then might be discussed in the frontchannel. It works well. Now it’s being made available through Sourceforge.net.

Gene Koo blogs about it here. And you can run it as a Web service right now here. [tags: open_source berkman]
