Thanks Guillaume. And thanks to the whole BB Team :-)

Sorry for asking before trying the last release!

One thing I have been considering it to use this BB stuff as the "by 
default" way of discussing about the contents of a document.  At least 
for us is much more important the discussion than the document by 
itself. So to efficiently capture the "creation process" is of key 
importance.

I was thinking about something like a tabbed page with a default "forum" 
for each document. It could be an option to create such a thing. And the 
access rights must be anyway managed independently (an user or group 
could read the document but not the discussion, for instance). I could 
figure out some other cross references between discussion and document, 
but I don't know if this could make sense at all.

Please, does this make sense for you?

Thanks for your time!

Ricardo
