: Is there a self hosted solution similar to Uservoice? In the early days of Stack Overflow, Uservoice was used to get feedback, bug reports and feature requests from the community. While SO did

I remembered seeing a similar question to this on StackOverflow.. dredged it up, and found an interesting lead there called VoxPopuli www.eldos.com/vp/ which sounds pretty much like what you're looking for. It's probably not as polished as Uservoice or GetSatisfaction though.

Don't forget to upvote Eugene Mayevski at stackoverflow.com/questions/1576935/open-source-alternative-to-uservoice-or-get-satisfaction if this helped you :)

According to VentureBeats, Uservoice has 3 main competitors still running. They are CrowdSound, GetSatisfaction, and FeedbackFX. Unfortunately, they all use the SaaS model as well so they won't solve you problem.

A quick look on sourceforge and I found that there were 2 project but neither of them have been started.

I looked on codeplex and I found that there is a project to add Feedback to DotNetNuke, here dnnfeedback.codeplex.com/. This might do what you want but it would probably only work on Linux if you have Mono installed.

Having looked into this, I think your best bet is to either use one of the tools like Uservoice or one of their competitors. Also note, CrowdSound lets you tightly integrate their Saas by using their modules within your site. Or you will need to write you own code.

Finally, ask yourself what value are you getting from hosting it yourself? Will it easier to do your work or will it keep your data private. If not then maybe hosting it yourself doesn't have a ton of value.
