[Rik] Yes, ok, but does this mean that discussion could only take place 
inside
a dicussion folder. Wouldn't it be a good idea to allow moderators also
to add a dicussion thread to any item. In this way a discussion is
attached to any subject by a moderator, so to say. I realize this is
extending functionality, but perhaps later on. It's more an idea than
anything else.

[Kamon] I agree that a moderator that has a certain right on a specific item 
should be able to create a discussion on it. Thus a discussion thread will 
be attached to the object. Hmm, while thinking about this, I found maybe we 
also need a DiscussionThread class. This is the container object that is 
added each time a discussion is created in the context of an object 
anywhere.
In the case of centralised discussions, a DiscussionsThread is added to a 
DiscussionsFolder.
In the case of non-centralised discussions, a DiscussionsThread is added by 
itself attached to the discussed object.
What do you think ?
