That looks much better than the original I agree, however I still find the forum solution used by Moodle better because of the reasons I already mentioned.
It's not likely that we're going to try to mash together a totally third-party project with MediaWiki. Our goals as a wiki will tend to differ from other software's, and it's important that it obey MediaWiki conventions for both coding and user interface. David McCabe is the only one working on this that I know of, and I don't know how well LiquidThreads is doing right now, but I haven't heard any ETA (or seen any commit activity recently).
As for the reasons you mentioned, these appear to be 1) Moodle offers threading, and 2) it notifies you if someone responds to your post. While I haven't looked much at LiquidThreads, I assume it addresses both of these concerns, or at least plans to.
Could any of the mediawiki developers comments on this subject?
Brion Vibber is the lead developer of MediaWiki. I'm also a developer, FWIW.
