My in-process article on Commentpress, in Commentpress: http://new.plannedobsolescence.net
This link appears to be broken. I’m so eager to see how you’re using this.
Yeah, that’s a 2+ year old link, which is no longer working. That article is now readable at http://mediacommons.futureofthebook.org/mcpress/cpfinal and my book, also in CommentPress, is available at http://mediacommons.futureofthebook.org/mcpress/plannedobsolescence.
The Untitled Document is using Commentpress:

I created a website with the Constitution of Denmark for people to debate a much talked about future update of the law. It’s called Grundlovs Debat.
It’s in Danish though, so non-Danish readers probably won’t get much out of it, but Commentpress is a very cool tool for discussing texts like that.
I am using the Theme to dust off and work on a decade old project: Nomads at the Gate (http://dubnick.com/nomads/). I am just getting use to WP, so this is going to be slow process of gearing up….
Howdy Book Futurists,
I am setting up a “Plog” at http://www.didactalab.de/plog – right now it is in German language, but here is a short synopsis of the Plog idea:
A “Plog” is a Publication Blog, where the author(s) reflect their publications:
Short synopsis of the most important points with some quotes
reflection of thoughts
background infos and material, insights from today (what was good, where did we go wrong etc.)
rediscover ideas
make texts accessible where no fulltext is in open access
start discussion with readers
collect ideas, questions, contra-positions etc. from the readers
It’s a great tool – thanks for making it available!
Scholr 2.0 : a white paper by Scholars Portage
(“getting research from one body to another”)
Much thanks for Commentpress and all your work!
I’ve been eager to try this since it came out. We just published a Commentpress version of a new NMC white paper “Social Networking, the “Third Place,” and the Evolution of Communication”

I am a middle school teacher and my advisory/homeroom is using the blog to discuss a book we are reading. The students and I take turns reading the book. We record the readings in Audacity and upload the mp3s to the blog posts for students who are absent. Our discussions are pretty basic at this point, but I think the format has potential for giving students practice in reading, writing, speaking and listening.
You could also use this to collaboratively translate a text 😉
I had a similar idea about three years ago at the library, nice implementation!
I use Commentpress as the layout for my AP Biology class’ blog, where we discuss issues in science, technology and society: TheBiologySpace.BioBlog
Just another person testing out commentpress. neat idea; in our software we’ve got word-by-word commenting so teachers can click just about anywhere in a student’s work and write in comments, which has its advantages and disadvantages vs this.
CUNY just put a draft of its 2008-2012 Master Plan up using Commentpress.
I used Commentpress to put my entire master’s thesis online for public scrutiny.
How did you find it worked in reality?
Correspondence training in theology and apologetics for students in Russia and the Ukraine.
We just started. Give me a couple of months and I will be able to give you a kind of report…

A site for commenting on public reports in considerable detail. Texts are broken down into their respective sections for easier consumption. Rather than comment on the text as a whole, you are encouraged to direct comments to specific paragraphs.
this is a great application. Looks like something that can really help collaboration.
Are there ANY working links and examples for this project? Thanks in advance.
Yes, have a look at the two MediaCommons projects posted by KT above. Will try and post asap.
The 3m10p project at Temple University used CommentPress to allow students to collaborate on research article drafts. Students in Temple’s Tokyo campus design psychology experiments and write the drafts, and psychology majors from Temple main campus in Philly debunk their work. The set-up allowed us to write 9 research papers in … only 3 months.

Hi,I have a site setup with old version of wordpress and comment press version 1.4We decided to upgrade to new version of wordpress and new comment press.In my old website I used to select comment press theme it looks like the Holy of Holies example in your site. posts on the left then when you click on one post users are able to add comments to diff paragraph in the window that moves along the doc.The problem I see after I upgrade to new comment press I do not know how to get the same look to the old one.I upgrade the theme, the plugin and Ajax all for new comment press as you suggest in your site.Any thoughts!thanks
Hi, Just to clarify my previous email, What I would like to say that the look of the comment press theme new one is different than the version 1.4 e.g this link refer to the old one where on the right hand side you can see the widget. When I try to do that for the new theme I did not get the same result.http://web.nmc.org/communication/ any ideas?thanks
You’re right, the theme has changed considerably in the intervening years. There is no current Commentpress theme which looks like the one that shipped with version 1.4, but, as with all open source software, it would be great of you decided to write one 🙂
If you want to try your hand at it, there’s a starter child theme on GitHub
Just curious, why do you actually want to change it if it’s not broken?
The German Social Democrativ Party uses Commentspress to discuss parts of their party platform: https://mitreden.akdigitalegesellschaft.de/
Thanks for letting us know
