Integrated New Commenting/Discussion Feature!

I just integrated the Disqus platform that essentially converts comments into a real discussion structure.  Not only this, but the platform integrates the bog content to the wider Disqus community.  I like this because it expands the idea of both virally distributed content with the notion that blogging is a medium of multiple authorship.  By this I mean that with a blog, the content is often a seed idea for what should become a complex expansion of that idea through what others say about it.

I would encourage folks to sign up with Disqus and integrate with your blog if you can.  It really is a powerful format to encourage community-building around blog content.  Here is a link to the Disqus community page that this blog is now integrated with: http://notesfromoffcenter.disqus.com

Hope you dig it as much as me!

    It's just a cool format for comments that actually threads responses. Like this one which is a response to yours…

    I'd like to know the best answer to your question myself. I like what I saw of MapGuide OpenSource, but I don't think editing features directly on a webmap is possible yet [osgeo.org]. (am I wrong?) I haven't took a look at MapServer. I believe I don't have enough free time to master this beast. Maybe it's easier than I think? Ultimately, my hopes go with QGIS [qgis.org], with the soon to be released 0.8 version. I feel the QGIS development team is strong and this would be my best pick for an open source user-friendly GIS. Sure, there's a lot of missing features, but in a couple of months/years… it might become a serious GIS contender. Or I at least hope so! :-)
