Commentext, an experimental PHP/Midgard
application dedicated to the accumulation of
content from a web-based forum, has been
created. See
http://www.commentext.org
The site consists of a forum and an associated
document, and some linking and editing utilities
to promote interchange between the two. The forum
provides a familiar vehicle for dialog, and the linked
document is intended to make it possible to retain
and focus the information that comes up in the
dialog in a structured format.
The document is made up of components that participants
can create, revise and use to build new document
versions. Existing versions are not affected and there
are editorial hooks available to allow versions to be
stamped as 'approved' by editors/administrators.
Such approval would usefully be employed to steer
the content of the document and would help to channel
the dialog in the forum.
A demo is available on the site for anyone who wants
to explore the application. Any comments or
suggestions from anyone who tries it would be
greatly appreciated.
