Introduction
============

plone.app.discussion aims to be the new commenting system for Plone. It was 
initially developed as part of the Google Summer of Code 2009 by Timo 
Stollenwerk (student) and Martin Aspeli (mentor).

plone.app.discussion is an add-on product for Plone 3.3.x and 4.0.x and will be
shipped as part of Plone 4.1. Make sure you pin down plone.app.discussion to
versions < 2.0 if installed as an add-on product (see install instructions 
below for more details).

Please report bugs to the `Plone bug tracker`_.

For the roadmap of the project see our `Pivotal Tracker`_.
