I'm looking for something that lets you subscribe to an individual thread.
The closest I've found is a service called "quicktopic" (www.quicktopic.com) - I'm looking for an open source alternative to host on a local site.
Thanks,
Miles

Hi Folks,
Is there a module that would provide and "ad hoc" forum capability, somewhat along the following lines:
- create a topic that has a unique URL and email address (with a
simple interface)
- include the URL in a mailing (e.g., include something in a
newsletter or announcement email that says "to discuss this topic further, click here")
- when you click, you are taken to a discussion page, and given the
option to "subscribe to this topic by email"
- at which point, you are subscribed to a topic-specific email
discussion that has it's own archive/forum page
I've seen things like this in various bulletin board / forum systems, and they're really useful for things like:
- getting discussion going around a specific topic
- soliciting responses to an article
- getting people involved in a specific project
Thanks much,
Miles
