Hi, Uwe. I've been working on a consensus building tool for this purpose, but if you're just looking for something that will thread conversations it's probably a bit too industrial for your tastes. The primary problem with threaded message bases is that they encourage completely off-topic conversations under the assumption that people can readily ignore the bits that aren't to their interest. This assumption is somewhat falacious because the end result is a convoluted conversation structure where finding the on-topic threads becomes increasingly difficult, and important points get burried pretty quickly.

Hello
I asked sometime ago about the possibilities to add some Thread functionality to the discussion pages and I was pointed out that there exists http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:LiquidThreads.
However it seems to me not a very vivid project. Are there any other plans to add such a functionality?
Thanks
