A true real power behind Conversant is it's abilty
to operate in several different modes. Mailing list, newsgroup, web
browser, XML newsfeeds, all of these modes allow people to interoperate without
regard to their tool of choice. For example, I was drawn to this thread
via an RSS feed, I loaded the list via NNTP and am composing the reply in
Outlook Express. Others replying may be doing so via their receipt of
the messages via mailing list or viewing the thread on the browser. No
other framework seems to pay such equal attention to so many different
interfaces.

What!?
Seth,
This is exactly why
I licensed an educational version of Conversant from
Macrobyte. I want to
do knowledge management in our academic department
(and eventually our
institution) where e-mail is the de facto standard for
written
communication. People can continue to use the medium they feel
most
comfortable with (and can fit in to their busy schedules), but we
create an
institutional web trail that is persistent, searchable, quotable,
and able
to be referenced by
others.
