Discourse is early beta software, and likely to remain so for many months. Please experiment with it, play with it, give us feedback, submit pull requests – but any consideration of fully adopting Discourse is for people and organizations who are eager to live on the bleeding and broken edge.</div>
<div><br></div><div>There is tremendous technical and sociological friction to change in any established community. Consider carefully whether your community is willing to adopt such a big change. Perhaps start a discussion about even the possibility of such a change well in advance.</div>
<div><br></div><div>We believe Discourse currently makes the most sense for new discussion communities. In some rare cases communities may have a discussion platform that they intensely and actively dislike, to the point that they are willing to throw the whole thing away and start over.</div>

We can't trust data retention policies of 3rd party services. So we<br>
would need something we can host ourselves. Andrew suggested Discourse<br>
<<a href="http://www.discourse.org/" target="_blank">http://www.discourse.org/</a>> as it is something the Tor Project could run<br>
on its own systems. It is not clear yet how complicated this would be.<br>
<br>
After some quick searches, I've also found:<br>
<br>
* Juvia <<a href="https://github.com/phusion/juvia" target="_blank">https://github.com/phusion/juvia</a>><br>
* comment-it <<a href="https://code.google.com/p/comment-it/" target="_blank">https://code.google.com/p/comment-it/</a>><br>
<br>
Those three should probably be compared more thoroughly.<br>
