Big news: Conversant beta1 released #

Thanks to David Carter-Tod for this link -- I think that it's a huge deal in the Frontier/Radio world that Conversant is now available for sale. It seems to be powerful alternative to Manila that is also built on top of Frontier.

It's been a while since I've played with Conversant. I will want to take a look soon. (Things that intrigue me is the acknowledged influence of Jon Udell's Practical Internet Groupware on the design of Conversant, resulting in a NNTP interface. Also, the plugin framework might be much more powerful than that of Manila...)

Off to a new free-conversant site

(Anyone done a comparative review of Conversant vs Manila?)
