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).
Ok I see the point, however in my experience MediaWiki conventions are not so important in discussion, where besides the 2 aims I mentioned I should add another one:
- one cannot edit other people comments
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.
I think to use LiquidThreads would considerably ease discussions however as far as I can see you still could edit other people comments. Thats why I thought of that clean moodle interface.
Could any of the mediawiki developers comments on this subject?
Brion Vibber is the lead developer of MediaWiki. I'm also a developer, FWIW.
Oops sorry, but good to know.
