Discussions are dedicated spaces within Projects and Groups for creating and interacting with searchable, taggable topic threads. Discussions provide a long-term repository for ongoing dialogue, knowledge organization, and maintaining continuity as projects evolve. 
Discussion threads are best used for organizing knowledge and ongoing discussions of topics. For current updates and quick communications, consider using the Feed, which holds a running set of posts in chronological order.
