All of the work we are doing is based on zpt, so I have little interest 
in DTML
skinned products at the moment.

I have had a chat within our group and we would be interested in 
collaborating on the development
of an open source CMF content based threaded/moderated postings object. 
One of our main
goals is that it should just be like any other CMF content, and not take 
over a site/ui etc....
(as Blarklog and Squishdot/Swishdot do)

Probably best to start off with identifying requirements.

I'll follow up in a day or so with our list ;-)
Maybe a Wiki should be started up to discuss/document.

(Oh we are in Perth, Western Australia, so may be slow in responding to 
some things, timezones ;-)
