Welcome, Brandon
For the past several months I have been tasked
on-and-off with redesigning LiquidThreads (LQT), which
is a next-generation discussion system.
I was really thinking that the discussion
pages should be redesigned because they are very cold!!
For a start, I think that "discussion" is a word that shouldn't exist
in the vocabulary!! :)
Will you tell us something more about LQT??
I, too, dislike the word "discussion" and am using the phrase
"Collaboration System" instead, at least in most of my talks about this.
A "Discussion System" is one part of a larger "Collaboration
System,"
to my mind.
Here is a link to the current design document. It's technical in
nature, and currently a work in progress. Many things are changing with
it still (such as colors, features, etc.). It's also intended as a
first-draft for a platform (so things like reputation systems are not
included in these mock-ups).

I'm working on a less-technical, more conversation-form document as
well and should have that ready early next week, but feel free to
comment on the current page.
