Discourse (software)
Discourse is an open source Internet forum system released on August 26, 2014. It was founded by Jeff Atwood, Robin Ward, and Sam Saffron.
The client side application is written in EmberJS. The server side is written in Ruby on Rails and backed by a PostgreSQL database and Redis cache. The source code is distributed under the GNU General Public License version 2.
Similar discussions can be organized under categories. Admins can create categories, add category descriptions and logos, and control access to topics in the category. Discourse provides granular control over read/write permissions.
Discourse also supports sub-categorization or nested categories. Subcategories are categories in themselves so they can be controlled in the same manner as parent categories. The only difference is the parent-child relationship.
Tags are a lightweight alternative to categories, but they can also be used in conjunction.
Conversations in Discourse are organized into topics. Users are able to create new topics or reply to existing ones. Categories and tags can be assigned to topics which makes them follow the security rules for those if applicable.
A topic consists of the initial post as well as any subsequent replies to it. Replies in Discourse follow a flat chronological order as opposed to being threaded. The Discourse core developers believe that threading replies is detrimental to the health of the overall discussion.[citation needed] Users can interact with each post independently. They can take actions such as reply, like, bookmark, quote or flag for moderation.
The user trust system is a "fundamental cornerstone of Discourse". Discourse's trust levels sandbox new users so that they cannot accidentally hurt themselves or other users, while granting experienced users more rights over time so that they can help maintain and moderate the community.
