Do you mean a test instance on opensource.com <http://opensource.com> or on meta.discourse.org <http://meta.discourse.org>? I'd love to get a chance to test the Discourse admin, as I haven't been able to set up an instance of my own yet.
My initial thought was that it would happen on http://www.discourse.org/, but I guess that wouldn't give you access to the admin part of the interface. Getting an instance up and running on opensource.com is unlikely to happen in a timely manner.
It sounds like the meta. might be the way to go. Jason
Regarding the existing article, it appears to have been equal part StackOverflow (and its founders) and equal part Discourse. I intend to get into the nitty gritties of Discourse very quickly. I'll definitely talk about the need they're filling and why it makes sense for them to be open source. Basic outline: This is Discourse and these are the people behind it. Here's how Discourse is different from the "legacy forums" And it makes perfect sense for it to be open source because...

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?

Somewhat similar to Discourse is Telescope <http://telesc.pe/> (Github <https://github.com/SachaG/__Telescope <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 <http://opensource.com>, I'm still open to ideas about making such a resource a reality.

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? _________________________________________________ Sign-up for our weekly newsletter:http://opensource.__com/email-newsletter <http://opensource.com/email-newsletter> Osdc-list mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> https://www.redhat.com/__mailman/listinfo/osdc-list <https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/osdc-list> _________________________________________________ Sign-up for our weekly newsletter: http://opensource.com/email-__newsletter <http://opensource.com/email-newsletter> Osdc-list mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> https://www.redhat.com/__mailman/listinfo/osdc-list <https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/osdc-list> -- Jason Hibbets, RHCSA :: Twitter: @jhibbets Project Manager, Red Hat :: Raleigh, NC Open source is changing the world -- http://opensource.com
