You can even have lists of lists -- that's powerful!

dedifon Can Lord of the Flies Help Bridge the Gap Between Math and English?

I think the whole point is to make a certain subject more accessible and fun for students who are more "attracted" to different topics. May be there is an inner engineer in some english major students and vice versa.

I totally get your point. Nearly everyone we talked to said "Great idea". We are simply applying the MVP principle, hopefully we'll grow from there :)

Chat is more of a generic term. The discussions we refer to are content based (right now centered around one hashtag or a Tweet). We will have other contents soon (hint: original content).

We haven't dig too much into optimization yet, it's _almost_ vanilla Meteor with MongoDB. The hashtags are created by the users, and they automatically rank based on activity, we will have many more interesting ranking algorithms to come.

shout is MIT opensource, we ack the use of the looknfeel (see our about). Kwak is by no mean IRC backed, it's our own dev work based on Meteor.

The interface will change eventually to support all the features that we intend.

We first started by mapping IRC features and for that shout is super convenient .. but it is just the start ;)
