Adding attachements and sorting is planned.
To see what else is planned, please refer to:

I have added these suggestions into a Task:

http://zdp.zope.org/projects/zdptools/tasks/actions_in_context

Simple at first. Then we can talk about feature bloat ;-)

Threaded discussions are separated into DiscussionFolders and
Discussions so 
that you can give different rights to different Roles.
DiscussionsFolders are added by Moderators, while Discussions can be
added
by Visitors. For completeness's sake, we are also planning to perhaps
add a
DiscussionRoom which only a Manager can add, but this is not decided
yet.



BTW: I have already put your contextOrderer to good use in many places,
and plan to use it more extensively in the future. The great thing
is that it could also be used for changing arbitrary properties.
For example you can change all properties with id "nickname" for
example to enforce a certain naming scheme. I have added this
as a Task:

Thanks a lot for your comments !
