in thread Collaborative Media

It's very much driven by a node/counter-node (i.e. question/answer, topical post/discussion) model.

Don't confuse a feature that runs on Everything with the Engine itself. It's possible to run a very successful Everything site without even installing the threaded discussion nodeball.

    I don't know that I'm confusing anything. everything2.com doesn't have threaded discussions, but the idea of node/counter-node is fairly prevalent. If there's a factual problem with an existing node you have to petition the node owner to fix it or post a sort of "followup" node. Perhaps there's a way to have the Engine allow community editing of some or all nodes-- as on a Wiki?

      I think I misunderstood you about halfway. The node/counter-node idea on E2 is as much a feature of the community as it is technical. It's pretty simple to have community node editing; there's a Wiki nodeball that we even use here on Perl Monks.

      The engine itself just provides database persistence, a behavior system, users, permissions, display customization, linking semantics, and an API. Anything else is up to the users. :)

        You forgot the kitchen sink.

        Never mind. ;-)
