It's not likely that we're going to try to
mash together a
totally third-party project with MediaWiki. Our goals as a wiki
will tend to differ from other software's, and it's important
that it obey MediaWiki conventions for both coding and user
interface. David McCabe is the only one working on this that I
know of, and I don't know how well LiquidThreads is doing right
now, but I haven't heard any ETA (or seen any commit activity
recently).
Ok I see the point, however in my experience MediaWiki conventions are
not so important in discussion, where besides the 2 aims I mentioned
I should add another one:
- one cannot edit other people comments
As for the reasons you mentioned, these appear to be
1) Moodle offers
threading, and 2) it notifies you if someone responds to your post.
While I haven't looked much at LiquidThreads, I assume it addresses
both of these concerns, or at least plans to.
I think to use LiquidThreads would considerably ease discussions
however as far as I can see you still could edit other people
comments. Thats why I thought of that clean moodle interface.

this subject?
Brion Vibber is the lead developer of MediaWiki.
I'm also a
developer, FWIW.
Oops sorry, but good to know.
