This aspect of Discourse/WP seems great, and a big encouragement for me to start using Discourse.
(I think this aspect is a HUGE benefit for getting Discourse in use beyond the audience who only have a need for a pure forum).
And I would definitely also see a big potential if several WP installations from different domains could be hooked up to the same Discourse forum. Ie. using Discourse as the comment system, publishing posts in it and syncing the comments.
(Since this could be different domains/owners, a multisite network is not an option).
Each WP installation could have a category/area assigned for publishing posts as threads. (This would not have to be shared between them).
I am not talking about the SSO part (although it would be a bonus if several blogs could also sign on new users though. But not a must).
This would allow for Discourse to be used as more of a “hub” or collaboration between several blogs. (I have a use case for that).
How far is the current technical feature set from being able to do this?
Any plans on taking that step?
Regards.
