[Building Sakai] Difference between these tools

[Steve Swinsburg]

I think David was referring to the really old Discussion tool that was deprecated back in 2.5 or so:
https://source.sakaiproject.org/contrib/deprecated/discussion/

FYI it still works in 2.8 (but don't use it)
https://source.sakaiproject.org/contrib/swinsburg/discussion-2.8.x/

And if you do use it, you'll eventually want to use this (credit to UFP for this)
https://source.sakaiproject.org/contrib/swinsburg/discussion2forums-2.8.x/

cheers,
Steve
