[Zope-CMF] Moderated Discussion

[Tim Hoffman]

Remember squishdot is not CMF aware. You could play with swishdot but I 
personally
think it takes over things to much. Blark log is of a similiar vein, and 
is dtml based.

Personally a propoer posting content object that contain other posting 
objects (ie replies/threads)
would be great because you could create them as content objects anywhere 
on you site and
in theory inside any object. A bit like discussable now, but as asked 
for moderated etc...

We are about to write such a things ourselves. I personally find both 
Squishdot and Blarklog
are too foreign to the CMF model IMHO ;-)
