Just as a quick update, DIsucss today is not quite robust enough to release and support in general. That being said, we actually have been working on it behind the scenes of late and it's actually our biggest non-core-product effort we have now. The key problems we're addressing include:
- Making a much more usable and traditional forum-like UX/skin
- Logins taking you back to where you logged in from
- Email notification of new replies/subscribed topics taking you to the right spot
- Better handling of deleted posts with respect to threaded discussions
- 504 timeouts on large threads
- Search
The last two items are probably the most challenging, but we've dedicated resources to this and they'll get sorted out soon. The first two are pretty close to done and I can't wait to have them as part of the release.
Making custom themes for Discuss more straightforward (with a great responsive default theme) and moving all the language bits to a lexicon are two important steps towards getting Discuss to where it can be supported as a public release.
If you've got ideas on what you'd like to see improved, please don't hesitate to let us know. If you've worked on the code previously and would like to pick back up, also PM me and we'll work something out. Our goal is to have Discuss released to the community this year.
