[p2pu-dev] comments, activities and replies

[John Britton]

Hey Dirk,

The ability to post a status to a course is originally from Batucada. I
would like to see this functionality move to resemble more of a threaded
discussion. The new threaded discussion work will most likely be part of
the cohort/group feature that's coming up shortly so I'd say that it
doesn't make sense to spend a lot of time improving the threaded-ness of
status updates.

I'm not opposed to dropping things that aren't being used.

Cheers,
John
