    There is not yet an officially blessed discussion system for the PTK.  
I have some work based on this list's discussion about PTK discussions.  
If you can hold on `till next week, you can guinea-pig what I'm working
on.

    This will be available (though not necessarily in a form that will
allow naive users to create them) shortly, check the CVS in the morning.

    I hate to make such an obvious suggestion, but are you sure that
importing it into the right place?  That message often means you're
trying to import it someplace other than /Control_Panel/Products.  I'm not
optimistic that's what's happening, but it's all that occurs to me just
now.
