We've been working very hard - and I'm afraid to say very quietly - to completely change the way knotes handles discussion, and to improve its usability, appearance and convenience in general. Yesterday, I deployed most of these changes to our production version of the knotes product. The CVS version will be changed shortly. We believe that knotes is now a very good solution indeed.

I've been quiet here for far too long - apologies.

It's not that we have been idle, though. We've been hammering very hard at knotes, working out a large number of fundamental improvements in response to real-world users' detailed comments and requests.

Yesterday I posted most of the changes to our production server's version of knotes. It all seems to be working very well., For instance, you may notice that the appearance of this weblog has changed ~(it is now getting 100% default knotes styling, so you can see what that looks like.

Over the next week or two we'll be tidying the product, adding documentation, and working towards a proper release of knotes. We're also, alkready, starting to do with knotes what we feel it is intended for --- adapt it for special kinds of collaborative activity, such as professional development planning.

I'll be posting here frequently for a while with updates and explanations. Sorry, but thiss post has to be short.

We have not yet percolated the changes to the CVS version. We'll be doing so over the next week. Please let me know by email if you want to try installing our own working version of knotes before then.
