For those of us who don't follow the tech blog [1], I'm pleased to announce that LiquidThreads is now in beta testing in the Wikimedia Labs [2].
LiquidThreads is a next-generation discussion system for MediaWiki, which turns talk pages into a real forum, while maintaining the essential aspects of a wiki that make them so effective. It was originally developed as a Google Summer of Code project by David McCabe, and I've spent the last 4 months preparing it for deployment on Wikimedia sites, under contract from the Foundation.
Sounds very good. I always found the discussions' page on MediaWiki to be lacking in usability, and so I've been looking forward to something like this.
Thanks to all the people who've worked on it and made it possible.
