LiquidThreads is a threaded discussion system for MediaWiki, developed by David McCabe with project management by Stichting Open Progress. It replaces standard talk pages in the wiki.
I believe Wikinews could potentially benefit quite significantly from a discussion system like this, as it would make it much easier for the general public to comment on our articles. There is an online demo here:

Please report bugs & issues _directly on the wiki_ and not on this mailing list.
Sincerely,
Erik Möller CTO, Stichting Open Progress
This looks interesting, but would be more suited to our Comments pseudo-namespace. I don't see any benefit making talk pages operate with this, but a discussion or Comment: namespace would be ideally suited to this.
Brian.

*gasp* Is Erik Möller spamversiting??
I like the way that this system is set up, and I agree with you in saying that Wikinews could _potentially_ benifit from this. I believe that either this system or the "DPL forum" would be a good comment system.
I also like the system we have now. While commenting, readers learn a little about wiki internally.

Agree with BrianMc. It would be great for comments, but i think it is too structured for a "normal" talk page (one of the benifits of the wiki, is everything is in the wiki).

So? I think it benefits also (always huge-growing) Watercooler discussions. On the other hand, I would be more than happy to have "thread title view" mode which Forum extention provides us...
