LiquidThreads is inching its way to the finish

LiquidThreads has developed over a long period of time and, it seems to be getting ready for the "big time" and that is great news.


LiquidThreads replaces the existing talk pages. It will make these conversations manageable. Being able to summarise or move a thread.. to quote from what has been said before.. all this makes it much easier to respond and still be understood. I like the notion that it will be possible to move a thread to the talk page of another article.

As the previous incarnation of LiquidThreads is used by sites like WikiEducator, I suggested to people to look there for a talk page on steroids. I am really happy with all the improved functionality and usability.

When you want to experience what it is all about, LiquidThreads is now installed on one of the prototype wikis.
Thanks,

One of my favorite things about wiki discussions is that avoidance of quote cruft so common on lists (quoting a whole message to add one comment.) I hope this won't happen here.

Joseph, it may, but at least you can edit that out again :)
