Motivation
It is very hard to follow a thread of discussion with portal discussions since you have to click through to read the comments/replies. Besides, you loose the context/thread as soon as you do so.
Proposal
The following needs to be done:
* Display all replies inline, threaded/hierarchical expanded
* If there are more than x replies, collapse the thread. Each reply/thread is expandable.
* When you click on a reply that comes up in a search result, display the entire thread, including the parent object.
* When replying, display the context or show an edit form inline.
* Maybe we can include a 'quote' button for easy replying.
Progress log
Implemented inline-display of discussions.
Implemented display of discussion context when replying.
No collapsing/expanding this time and no inline editing.

Any plans to continue along this path?

I think this PLIP comes very close to describing "comment nirvana" for Plone. Great job. The improvements you managed to get into the 2.1 release are very welcome indeed.
Are you planning to continue implementing the plans you describe above for 2.2 (or beyond)?
Send mail to author
Can you also make an option "Send mail to original author", that way authors can go back to their articles and read/answer comments.
