>Many of my developers and project managers like threading for discussions.
>In order to get greater adoption, I've developed an extension/patch that
>makes the discussion page look like the archives of a listserv.  Don't know
>if this is even worth consideration, but in the spirit of openness thought I
>would throw it out.  If there's time and interest, I'll clean it up and make
>it generally available - right now it's very experimental - although we're
>using it here in production.

>I've posted this highly experimental patch/extension at

>This extension implements a discussion threading process. This threading
>will only be seen on the talk pages, unless explicitly invoked in the
>command line.
>
>It adds a [reply] link on the header line. Each time a new posting is
>entered or a posting is replied to, the comment will automatically be tagged
>(and appear in the TOC too). Of course direct editing can occur, but this
>really makes it a lot easier to organize discussions in a threading view
>that most are familiar with.

>To do (if there's enough interest):
>
>1.	Internationalize 
>2.	get someone who knows regex to clean up the parsing of the subject
>line 
>3.	Assess to see if there's an easier way to do this - I've probably
>screwed it up royally.
