The Institute for the Future of the Book has today [announced](http://www.futureofthebook.org/blog/archives/2007/07/commentpress_10.html) the release of its open source WordPress theme, [CommentPress](http://www.futureofthebook.org/commentpress/), which allows for easy online publication and discussion of a wide range of documents. My [article on scholarly publishing](http://mediacommons.futureofthebook.org/scholarlypublishing), released earlier this spring by MediaCommons, was published in an early draft of CommentPress, and I’ve now put the finished release into use on a [paper-in-development](http://new.plannedobsolescence.net) that’s, appropriately, about CommentPress.

Stop by if:book, download CommentPress, and read (and discuss) all about it…
