[Zope-CMF] Portal Discussion

[Norman Khine]

Hello,
I would agree that the discussability of content should be decided by the
discussion tool, but I would like the user to decide whether or not the
content is or is not discussable. Perhaps a check-box in the meta-data form
to activate this?!

2. Replies, I think should reside in the Users personal workspace. So that
for future-proofing if we get a scenario where we have one global CMF-Portal
accessing sub-folders for content, these sub folders can either reside on
the persons pc or on a different server -- I supose like a cluster of mini
portals. I think it will be important to have each personal workspace --
personal and all content pertaining to this has to reside within this space.

Maybe one day it can be made like the My Briefcase where users can take
selection "copies" of their content and move it arround from portal to
portal ;^o

my £0.02p

Regards

Norman

Hmmm... okay, I wasn't being dumb then :-)

To be honest, the idea of the talkback attribute and of content specifying
whether or not it can be discussable doesn't feel quite right to me, as I
see it:

1. The discussability of a piece of content should be decided by the
discussion tool, not the types tool.

2. Replies should be 'first-class' content objects:

   - let them be renamed.

   - let them be deleted.

   - the their author decide where to put them

For this last part, there should probably be a default policy about where
replies are stored (a python script in the skin could do this)

Anyway, to explore this, I think I'm gonna build a new discussion tool for
Swishdot. If people like it, then I'd be more than happy for it to land back
in the core :-)

cheers,

Chris
