collective.ploneboard is a message board for the Plone content management system. It is an attempt to rewrite the functionality of Products.Ploneboard from the scratch. It uses the Dexterity content types framework and plone.app.discussion for implementing conversations.

The add-on is tested with Plone 5.1 and 5.2. It should work with older Plone versions (5.0 and 4.3) as well. Though, we can not give any guarantee for this.
