Forum .LRN Q&A: Response to dotLRN structure

Harry,

There is nothing inherent about the dotLRN architecture which
prevents FAQs from being shared across classes. You would
have to program the dotlrn-faq code to make that happen
(without having to rewrite faq). If something like this were
spec'ed carefully, it could probably be implemented as dotlrn-
shared-faqs (and dotlrn-shared-forums, etc...). It would be a
different dotLRN applet without having a different underlying FAQ
or forums engine. I don't think it would be the default, though, as
right now dotLRN communities are fairly well separated from
one another (by client design).

As for what you're thinking of in terms of UI, more detail would be
helpful. Not sure what "behaving like ms outlook" means :)
