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.
