D3E-Phorum

Phorum is one of the open source web discussion systems that we have customised for D³E, selectable from within the Publisher's Toolkit. D³E-Phorum is the most recent discussion system we have worked on, and the one that we are most likely to continue developing. Its features are more sophisticated than D³E-HyperNews, and we recommend that you adopt this.

See the demonstration article for an example of a document using D³E-Phorum (where you can post test comments).
