Discussion Tools

Discussion tools will be one of the key spaces in which Blog Cooperatives will conduct business. Useful discussion tools would include discussion forums, chat rooms, and audio-conferencing capabilities. Discussion is any medium should be archived and categorized for easy search and recall. Discussion tools should provide easy access to member reputation information.

The best way to acheive all this is to use Zope.

We are working on Zope based tools that will enable the creation of super easy to use websites where every page is like a wiki, a blog and an instant messenger, all rolled into one.

This will include the amazing HTMLArea for WSYWIG editing and mod_pubsub for instant updating and syndication.

A simple implementation will be operational at ABCtales.com next week
