Dear colleagues,
The Digital Document Discourse Environment (D3E) is released today for
free download, most components open source with others to follow.
Of specific interest to this discussion list may be "Ubiquitous-D3E",
which enables you to publish any website in the world for discussion.
This of course could be a threaded peer review discussion on a
journal submission or eprint document (the latter is in fact the
example illustrated at
http://d3e.open.ac.uk/ubiquitous-d3e.html).
Try it now on your archive at
http://otis.open.ac.uk/ubiq/
We've been using "Full-D3E" for interactive web peer review debate
since 1996:

The main announcement is below.

The Digital Document Discourse Environment (D3E) is released today for
free download, most components open source with others to follow.
WHAT IS D3E?
Use D3E to publish web discussion documents. The content (any web
media) is linked visually and explicitly to a threaded discussion
space. Bibliographic citations, footnotes and section headings are
also converted to hyperlinks to assist navigation, especially in
large documents. Document and discussions are bound together as a
single artifact.
Since discussion documents underpin almost all knowledge-intensive
work, D3E has found numerous applications in its 5 year evolution.
Some examples are on the site, including journal peer review,
distance learning, participatory software design, and strategic
planning.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
D3E is available in two forms:
1. Full-D3E:
Publisher's Toolkit: desktop Java application
+ a Web discussion system: D3E-Phorum or D3E-HyperNews
(customizations of the open source Phorum and HyperNews systems)
2. Ubiquitous-D3E:
A server-side application, with any web browser as client;
enables you to publish any website in the world for discussion
