What is the difference?

Ditch the Current Affairs section. No one has asked a question there for 3 weeks, and no one answered that.

by which time it was no longer current. I think the distinction the BBC makes is that news happened today, current affairs are ongoing. But a highly sophisticated platform like AB 2.0 won't need the distinction. Shouldn't think it will need ChatterBank either, though if it wants to keep it for sentimental reasons it could be outsourced to Bangalore.

From what the Ed has said, the front end, the public facing bit of Answerbank will not change. Good time to ditch any surplus baggage. The Politic section could go as well.
