## Vision
We think of Discourse as a **Civilized Discourse Construction Kit**, an open-source discussion platform that acts as a free, flexible, fundamental building block for online communities of any size, tiny to huge.
Discourse is a **Civilized Discourse Construction Kit**, a free, flexible, fundamental building block for online discussion communities of any size, tiny to huge.
Discourse is:
- A **flattened, endlessly scrolling discussion**, which avoids the awkwardness of traditionally threaded and paginated discussion, while still allowing replies to be expanded in place for context.

- A **user trust system** that grants users rights to assist in moderating the forum as they participate in good faith over time. The goal is for the forum to be nearly self-moderating in the absence of any formal moderators, although excellent moderators do accelerate the process greatly.

- A **contemporary, robust technology stack**, free of legacy PHP and MySQL constraints.
Our goal is to **foster an active community of contributors**, all of whom commit to free, simple, pleasant to use online discussion software that can thrive in an Internet age dominated by micro-blogging and diminishing attention spans. Internet discussion belongs to everyone, not just huge corporate websites.
