Introducing Discourse 1.0 Jeff Atwood August 26, 2014 Today we are incrementing the version number of Discourse to 1.0. We’ve been working on Discourse in public for about a year and a half now – since February 2013. Turns out that’s about how long it takes to herd an open source project from “hey, cool toy” to something that works for most online discussion communities. It’s a bit like building an airplane in flight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7XW-mewUm8 Version numbers are arbitrary, yes, but V1 does signify something in public. We believe Discourse is now ready for wide public use. That’s not to say Discourse can’t be improved – I have a mile-long list of things we still want to do. But products that are in perpetual beta are a cop-out. Eventually you have to ditch the crutch of the word “beta” and be brave enough to say, yes, we’re ready. So that’s what we’re doing. In working with the community, in working with our 3 initial partners, in working with our early customers, we’ve gained a lot of confidence that we’ve refined Discourse into something that is safe, complete, has all the rough edges smoothed, and is finally ready for use by everyone: discourse.org We’re also, at long last, unveiling our hosting service and install service: discourse.org/buy If you’re looking for a world class host to get started with Discourse, why not choose the people that know Discourse best? As an open source project, we wouldn’t be where we are today without our community, so many thanks are in order:

remember when he posted here and asked for reasons why he was wrong but not trolls so tef (i think) wrote a pretty good post detailing why he was wrong (basically lol using software to enforce social actions never works) and he replied with 'no but' and stopped posting and then jeff died when he got hit by a tram

None of our current plans fit your budget? For a flat one-time fee, we can install Discourse in the cloud for you.

The Management posted:can't be worse than disqus disqus is like most commenting systems, it seems perfectly suited for situations where you'll have no more than 10 or so comments posted on an article or whatever. unfortunately it is frequently used on places that tend to get a couple hundred comments per article and is total poo poo at that rendering any attempt at actual discussion futile
