Today, we have deleted our “Article discussions”-forum from our community forums. Comments to articles should now be posted directly to the article, just as it used to be a while ago. Comments from a user (thanks Ben) made us do this change, and we do agree with him when he said that the “old way” was a bit clumsy.
Another thing we are going to do, is to add a demo forum as soon as Vikingboard 0.1.1 is finished. Which will be within days, if everything goes as planned. As mentioned in the forums, 0.1.1 contains mostly bugfixes, but also some new features that we were just to impatient to implent into Vikingboard 0.1(b). Around 5000 lines of code has been written since 0.1b. Until then, our community forums is as close you can get to a demo without downloading Vikingboard and install it yourself.
As you can see of todays little changes, user comments are very useful to us, as it is you who are ultimatly going to be using our software. We like feedback, good or bad, as long as it constructive, so do not hesitate with sending us an email. It will most liklely help us writing better software.
I would also like to mention that we will become better at updating you guys about what we are doing. I know that there have been very few updates latly, but that is now a thing of the past :)

heh … surely you don’t think an aulde dawg like me would be so easily pleased?! *grin*
FWIW I liked the idea of comments being driven/re-directed to the forum. My “Participatory Deliberation” notion involves just that sort of mashup. But that’s getting dangerously close to proprietary design information, so I’ll stop here.
As I wrote to Eric Meyer earlier today, with regards to how W3C is dieing in its traces, our solutions will arise as all solutions arise: by the honest efforts of principled practioners. So, on the short term: do what works.
To rever to hippie-lingo, “Keep on keepin’ on!”
p.s. when I see some UML I’ll know you’re solid. ;-)
