-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The two beta partners they have now are How-to Geek and Boing Boing and I know the guys at Discourse are looking for a third beta partner before working on a hosted version for the masses. Maybe the Tor Project is a good match? - From the "Buy It" link: We are currently evaluating our options for third partner – who we hope will be equally amazing and definitely our largest yet, by volume. If you feel your organization is a good match, mail us, explain why you're a good match, and let's try to make a love connection. Seems like Tor and Discourse have several common goals and you could benefit each other. with kind regards, Nancy On 01/13/2014 05:46 PM, Olssy wrote:
Discourse seems very nice and can be used with blogs as this site has implemented: http://eviltrout.com <http://eviltrout.com/>
I find this entry in the FAQ a bit disconcerting:
Should I switch to Discourse right now? Probably not.
Discourse is brand new. 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.
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.
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.
Also, pretty much any blogging solution is going to be using a database in the back end so a strategy for the mirrors will be needed before long.

Would we be open to using a 3rd party service for comments, like Disqus, or would we still want to host all the comments ourselves, but separately from the posts?
See <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/10022>.
We can't trust data retention policies of 3rd party services. So we would need something we can host ourselves. Andrew suggested Discourse <http://www.discourse.org/> as it is something the Tor Project could run on its own systems. It is not clear yet how complicated this would be.
After some quick searches, I've also found:
* Juvia <https://github.com/phusion/juvia> * comment-it <https://code.google.com/p/comment-it/>
Those three should probably be compared more thoroughly.
