Erlend,
I think this is a very interesting topic. One idea I had while checking
this out is that we could kick off a discussion using Discourse to test
out the features and functionality so that the article write-up could
use a real-world experience.
Topic proposal ideas:
- What does open source mean to you?
- How did you get involved in open source?
Regards,
Jason

I've played around with Discourse as well, and agree with you that it's
an amazing piece of software. I look forward to your post.
Somewhat similar to Discourse is Telescope <http://telesc.pe/> (Github
<https://github.com/SachaG/Telescope>) an open source post/discussion
board built on top of Meteor <http://www.meteor.com/> (a great open
source framework). It's still a bit rough around the edges.
A little more of a niche solution for Q&A/KnowledgeBase I've also
tinkered with is Cordino <http://www.coordino.com/> (think StackOverflow)
<http://www.coordino.com/>
I'd like to see more posts on up and coming open source
projects/solutions themselves, but I don't know that they necessarily
have a category to go under on the website? (ie busines, education,
government, health, law, life)
alternativeTo <http://alternativeto.net/>and CodeVisually
<http://codevisually.com/>have become my trusted sources for searching,
reading, and comparing the latest and greatest web dev tools and
resources, but I still think there is a spot to be had for a similar
resource dedicated solely to open source projects. I admit I have
thought about creating such a resource before.
I recognize however this may not fall inline with the mission of the
site which seems to have a focus more on applying open source principles
to other facets of society.
If indeed this does fall out of the realm of opensource.com, I'm still
open to ideas about making such a resource a reality.

Hi,
I'd like to write an article about an amazing new piece of forum
software called Discourse <http://www.discourse.org/>. I'm just not
sure about the format. I haven't used it as an admin yet, only as an
active participant on their own forum and few others.
It would probably be an opinion piece in the Life section. Sort of
like this but going a bit more in depth about it's most unique features.
Does that format sound acceptable?
